An small Interview with Linda Helene Syvertsen.
Who and from where are you?
My name is Linda Helene Syvertsen. I live in Horten,Norway.
How you got into this?
I started to paint about three years ago. I needed a hobby, and it quickly became a passion in my life, one that I had been searching for a long time. Today I have a studio at Artilleriverkstedet in my hometown where I work towards my first solo exhibition this summer.
What is your driving force?
The driving force for me is to express myself and the urge to explore different techniques. I think this urge has helped me to be expressive in my painting actually.I never plan exactly how to paint a portrait when I start, but I always end up with a portrait that expresses my mood at the time. Very often my portraits give me a new insight. I'm not finished before the painting is somehow beautiful for me. I then step back, and suddenly I can see an expression that's mirroring my mood at the time. My portraits then give me a higher self-knowledge.
What kind of work you do and why?
I paint intuitive portraits and some abstracts/half abstracts on canvas. I use acrylics because I don't have the patience to wait for the painting to dry before I can paint the next layer. I use different tools beside brushes when I paint, like knife, spatula, both rubber and steel, a sponge, my fingernails and sometimes stencils to make dots. I never finish the painting before I feel that peace and a flow in both color and shape. I'm hoping that others who see my pictures are able to recognize some of those expressions and feelings within themselves as well.
