Mona Stenseth erlandsen

Tradition, symbolism and fantasy. Mona plays in the intersection between the ornamental and surreal. Birds often land in her paintings – as a symbol of humankind’s urge to explore, travel and to discover what “freedom” means. She has a curiosity for identity, tradition and heritage – but also symbolism, fairytales and aesthetics from interiors and architecture. They all shape her maximalist style where she creates large oil paintings from dreamy neverlands.
