Original artwork description:

There is a party atmosphere in the evening air, a burst of vibrant flowers and shining stars. The Norwegian summer is in full bloom, and after a long winter the garden if filled with red, pink, and blues, and all the other delicious hues. Shades of beauty are everywhere, and the beautiful hostess has a yellow rose in her hair. It’s Norwegian Summer Time my friends, enjoy!

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 botanical impressions and create depth and movement in her paintings. The drips in Angelika’s work illustrate the endless cycle of growth and decay in organic structures, which again is a reflection of life itself.

The botanical forms on the canvas are inspired by flowers but in an abstract way in order to create 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.
