ABOUT ME AND MY PROJECTS
Åse Pleym Bakken is a comtemporary Norwegian visual artist who explores painting, graphics, drawing, mixed media and watercolor. Her abstract expressionist artwork is spontaneous and colorful, with figures sometimes reflected in her paintings. She says «I like to think about art as to create something new and that it will create curiosity. I want my paintings to give the viewer positive images and perhaps associations that are possible to recognize. Each painting contains a reflection, something the eyes perils past. It is communication of experiences and memories, and something that concerns me particularly. I like to call it «capturing a moment of experience». I am fascinated by the way we are linking strong relationships with each other and my paintings may express energy, hope, joy and sorrow.»
