Copyright 2026 Adelheid Ottesen. All Rights Reserved.

Adelheid Ottesen is a Norwegian artist, originally from Stord, who settled in Falun, Sweden, in 2021. She graduated from the Bergen Academy of Fine Arts. Ottesen 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.

Ottesen paints mainly with acrylics. She also works with graphics, woodcuts, linocuts and serigraphy. Her abstract treatment of colors and shapes enables the dissolution or separation of entities such as time, place and action. Ottesen's compositions are characterized by flatness versus spatial depth, and a simplification of the visible world. Adelheid Ottesen is known for painting text or just a single word in her motifs, and she has a penchant for frames, patterns, still lifes, landscapes and everyday motifs.

Adelheid Ottesen is a member of Konst i Dalarna (KID) and Falu Konstgrafiska Verkstad (FKV). She has participated in several art exhibitions in Norway and Sweden, including at Dalarnas Museum, Gruvans Museum and Rättviks Konsthall in Sweden and Galleri POP in Norway, and she has been purchased by several public institutions and the Dalarnas Art Association, as well as Region Dalarna.
