BIO
Siv Storøy is a Norwegian contemporary graphic artist & illustrator living and working in Hamar, Norway. Siv creates Limited edition Art prints and paintings, and she is exhibiting her work around the world.
I think of my works as unfinished stories or scenes. My characters are influenced and inspired by my background from Northern-Norway, and carry a sub-tone of otherworldly and mysterious illusion to them. My most recent line of artwork consists solely of female personas, as I have always been fascinated by exploring strength and vulnerability in feminine archetypes. Through my artwork, I try to move into a interdisciplinary collaboration
between traditional, hand-crafted techniques and digital infusion. It is an exploration, allowing me to to use a variety of methods and angles in each work. No matter how many images I have created, every composition is still an experiment to me. My works inhabit a somewhat haunted and ethereal appearance, inviting the viewer to move into a space of juxtaposition of fantasy and reality.
WRITTEN ABOUT SIV STORØYS ART:
A multimedia artist whose works personify a mysterious, somewhat haunted and ethereal appearance, Siv Storøy designs aesthetically striking images using a color palette of predominately black and white that transfix a compelling and contemporary gaze. A feeling of otherworldly and obscure illusion can be extracted from Storøy’s images, transmitting a juxtaposition of digital and reality. Areas of the pictures are digitally overlaid and the opacity is played with, allowing multiple images to be simultaneously exposed. Radiating a dark and dramatic disposition, a harrowingly evocative fantasy is conjured throughout, portraying a rather enticing outcome.
