SHE with details in 24k gold foil (2021) Digital Arts by Renate Natalja Relenvie

My name is Renate Natalja. I am a Visual Artist and Printmaker from Norway. I have a small studio in the heart of Oslo, where I spend most of the time. 

My love of gold color, flowers and surreal, anchor a lot of my work and genuinely reflect my soul and personality. While I use a variety of materials and processes in each project my methodology is consistent. I’m interested in expressing basic human emotions – tragedy, ecstasy, doom, and so on. My subject matter tends to be those fragmentary passages that reside within the mundane – the in-between spaces of our lives that we see but often do not notice. As a result, the works are anonymous portraits that represent intersectional identity, alienation, and otherness. 

I try to incorporate this experience into printed works through collage, paper, and photo stencils. As well I love to experiment with different materials and acrylic colors.  In my abstract artworks, I use burnt-out candles. Candles die from fire, giving light and warmth to people, but they are reborn again in my art. 

I am a small fan of exhibitions, but I took part anyway in Europe and Scandinavia.
