Biography

"Acrylic is the perfect medium for me. As quick-drying paint it allows me to slowly build up the image by adding several thin washes of paint on top of each other, creating a three-dimensional feel and flow through the use of layering of paint."

Elin Bjorsvik is a Norwegian-born artist and painter who lives and works in London, UK. She works predominantly in the medium of acrylic painting, but has also an interest in printmaking and digital art. Photograph of Series3 No18, acrylic painting on canvas for sale

Elin received a BA in Fine Art in 1998 from The Robert Gordon University, Aberdeen, and moved to London shortly thereafter to attend her first solo exhibition in East London.

She has since had several solo shows and participated in many group shows the UK.

Her paintings have also been featured in a short film and her work has been sold to clients and collectors in Norway, Sweden, Denmark, Germany and USA.

Elin's work is an exploration of form, colour and composition intending to create a feeling of another dimension in her paintings. Sculptural and geometrical modelled shapes are composed into three-dimensional abstract landscapes and spaces; representing gateways that quietly communicating the need for balance, order, harmony and serenity.

Her most recent solo exhibition was in Gallery 27 in Cork Street, Mayfair, London, and in she has also exhibited with the National Association of Acrylic Painters (NAPA) in the Williamson Art Gallery, Birkenhead.

Acrylic paintings

Paintings created with acrylics have a fantastic brightness which make colours appear more vivid, resulting in a remarkable three-dimensional effect. These original paintings do not require any additional framing and the canvas is about 38mm deep.

Elin's paintings are all painted on box canvas with acrylic paint. These are original works of art (and therefore more expensive than posters, prints or commercially printed canvases).
