Johanne Sofie Amtedal (b. 1993, Bærum, Norway)

explores abstraction with her naturalistic portraits.

Previously, she studied visual arts at Einar

Granum Art School, where she delved into human

anatomy and various painting techniques.

She also has a bachelor’s degree in art, design and

craft from Volda University College there

she focused on the field of drawing and

illustration.

​

Her specialty is visual art, either paintings on large

canvases with a broad brush or precise portraits

with gray pencil and watercolour.

She is inspired by various style periods, but especially

the careless brush strokes in the painting of

expressionism, the strong colors of pop art and

the playful lines of today’s fashion illustrators.
