Adelheid Ottesen paints with acrylics and works with printmaking, like woodcuts, linocuts and serigraphy. She also combines these various art techniques.
Her abstract treatment of colors and shapes enables the dissolution or separation of entities such as time, place and action. Her compositions are characterized by flatness versus spatial depth, and a simplification of the visible world. She has a penchant for frames, patterns, still lifes, landscapes and everyday motifs.
Adelheid Ottesen is a Norwegian artist, who settled in Falun, Sweden, in 2021. She graduated from Bergen Kunsthøgskole in 1991. She has lived and worked in Bergen for many years as a graphic designer and as a visual artist on the side. Since 2018, she has worked with visual arts full-time.
