Sobre el Artista

Life is a journey of colours. My name is Anita Bjørbekk and I think we shall find self-esteem, love and pleasure in everyday life. This is my vision and I want to express it through my images. When people look at my pictures, I want them to be aware of the love and joy that are within themselves. In 2011, I walked past a paint shop and my intuition told me that I should go in there and buy some canvas and some paint. This changed my life and I found my creative germ, where time and space disappear and this gave me so much energy. Paint was my form of therapy where I felt mastery and this gave me a new life. I began to be more confident to make choices and not care about what others thought about me. I started the company Kreativ Kunst (CreativeArts) in February 2013. Over the past years I have made my own gallery, galleri AB, located across the street from my studio. I have started a Creative cafe, not a cafe but a place where you can come to be inspired. From this I created a blog on my website www.kreativkunst.no. The blog on www.galleri-ab.com is from my exhibitions. My palette is the color that I see in the rainbow. I started to study color theories in a wide specter and then I created my own color system (10 color system), wrote a small book about the nine color personalities and prepared 45 color cards with small book about raising awareness of feelings. I wrote a little fairy tale about Rainbow's daughter, made a little story about the colors versa complementary colors and made a song called Dream colors etc. For me, the colors are symbolic of different personalities. I think by using these color personalities you can retrieve all the personality talents, abilities and integrate them to make them aware you. I believe that by using colors you can get in harmony and balance. In August 2014 one of my paintings was selected to join the Telemark exhibition in Norway, it is a juried exhibition shown at four places in Telemark county from September until Christmas. I was so fortunate that my painting was chosen to be in front of the poster and program. This is a great recognition and hopefully the start of a wonderful career in the arts. Creativity gives me energy and I want using my pictures and creativity to shine and show others that anything is possible if you really start to believe in yourself and dare to be visible. In 2016 I was chosen to be the Norwegian ambassador for Womens Art World.
