Anne Gro Starefoss Greve – Circle Foundation for the Arts

“I'm inspired by being close to nature. My atelier is situated between the fjords and mountains in Bergen and on the Island Forstøno in Os, Norway. I grew up in this environment, among fishermen, farmers, and traders, in a community that has always relied on the sea. My education as a decorator paved the way for a career as a manager for purchasing and marketing designer products. However, I have always continued to interpret Nordic landscapes and creatures through acrylic paint on canvas, pastel chalk, and watercolor. For the past several years, art has been my full-time occupation.”

Anne Gro Starefoss Greve (b. 1955) is a prominent Norwegian painter. Based in her studio in Bergen, she captures the essence of her native region, with its stunning fjords, majestic mountains, and vibrant inhabitants, using a masterful blend of acrylic paint on canvas, pastel chalk, and watercolor. Starefoss Greve's artworks have graced the galleries of multiple European countries, and she remains dedicated to exploring and conveying the intricate relationships between humanity and the natural world through her visual expressions.
