About

Ruth Therese Brokstad

About me:
I was born in the south, but grew up in the north of Norway. I’ve never liked to express myself in words, so I’ve always painted. Started to show my work to an audience in 2011, starting with a small exhibition in my local painting association (Byåsen Maleklubb). From there on, I’m both surprised and proud to tell that I’ve already participated in bigger exhibitions, and my works are among the Linus Winners in the exhibition Nature Speaks.

My main inspiration is bad weather, heavy storms, and a fighting sun behind raging clouds. Coastal landscapes and seascapes, nature communicating with movement and silence, inextricably linked to us, affects us, and inspire my paintings. Relations, power structures, society and non-verbal communication are also inspirational themes, more often the starting point for my more surreal paintings.

When painting, I prefer using watercolour, but I love experimenting, and am constantly trying out new techniques and mediums. Some of my paintings are made with acrylic paints, often the more surreal ones. My landscapes though are often made in watercolour.

Most of my paintings are also available as giclée prints, in a limited edition where every giclée print is signed with my signature and an unique id-number.
