Ingerlise Vikne

Born in the west part of Norway, Ingerlise Vikne is an autodidact artist that lives and works in Denmark. She uses acryl, pastel, oil and charcoal on linen canvas.

“With my paintings I try to express the feeling of withdrawal from the outside to the inside, letting your senses lead the way. I seek and investigate the introverted mind in a positive way, in a joyful quiet journey. The “characters” often have childlike expressions, they don’t pretend; they are authentic. A great inspiration has also been the theory about Phrenology, which claims to see a connection between the human skull and the character of the soul.
My “Characters” have been exhibited in both solo and group shows in Galleries and Art Fairs in, Norway, Denmark, Scotland, Germany and now Spain. Recently, the publisher Jorinde & Joringel chose my characters as cover illustrations on 12 poetry collections.”
