Original artwork description:

The snow is falling and sends a furry of pretty snowflakes on the frosty Norwegian landscape. I love sitting inside while the snow is falling, listen to fairytales by the fire and enjoying the magic of winter.

By building up many layers of texture and colour, using brushes and palette knives, Angelika creates a rich surface and vibrant relationships between random shapes and deliberate markings in her work. She also uses charcoal and oil pastels to heighten the impressions and create depth and movement in her paintings.

The abstract, gestural forms on the canvas have many sources of inspiration, a pink sunset, a subtle white washed image of a pale winter day or a delicate flower are examples of images which are blended together to create an abstract form of beauty.

Angelika creates a visual language that gives the viewer room for their own interpretations and dialogues. There is a constant awareness in her work to create translucency and light within the paintings and to show the ethereal beauty of nature.
