I am a visual artist living in Oslo, Norway.  I paint, draw and do textile work.  Rhythm and repetition are key ingredients in my work.  Once the idea is rooted the repetitive work process gives me peace of mind and enables new ideas to evolve. Mediums and formats may vary. I primarily work in an abstract fashion.

I hope my work communicates something to the viewer even though it may only be a whisper.

DM me on Instagram or email me at aekiaer@gmail.com for sales or further information.

Thank you for looking.
