Karlebotn am Varangerfjord, geburtsort Norwegens (2013) Painting by Franziska Van Der Geest

I have loved painting since I was a child! Colors, shapes, lines, geometric figures, creative exploration of new techniques and materials have always inspired me.
So many hours of practice preceded today's painting.
Today I paint directly in the landscape or in the room with natural materials in combination with the pastels, which are often painted in the sand, or in the water or snow. I also like to paint with hot or cold charcoal from the fire, as well as grass and leaves , Moses, fruits, juices, honey, egg yolk, flour and much more were used for the pictures.
I am happy every day, wherever we are, to be able to let the liveliness become visible!
