Statement

My name is Carina Evelina Johnsrud. I live in Sweden Stockholm, but my family and relatives are from Norway. I have also lived in Italy. My inspiration when I paint often comes from Italy and the splendid nature and archipelago in Stockholm and Norway. All my paintings are made by many different layers of colors and small detail in different technics. For trying to make my paintings, more complete I often use Mixed Media. What I love about paintings is how freeing it feels. How I can paint and just let go off all stress and expectations and just enjoy the moment “Carpe Diem” I hope you enjoy my paintings!

Carina Johnsrud belives that she can never achieve the completeness through one medium, that is why mixing different media is what she goes for to complete most of here paintings. What Carina loves about painting is how freeing it feels, how she can paint and just let go off the stress and expectations and just enjoy the moment, and this is evident in her free style and using the colors in a free spontanous way, creating unexpected results. Her artworks are powerful and colorful artworks that invite the wiever to contemplate and dive deep into it, her paintings bring the mind in a tour into a new joyful world that the artist is able to create amazingly through her brush.
