My name is Henrik, and I am an artist based in Stavanger, Norway. My work is an inquiry into the human condition, specifically focused on how our timeless inner worlds—our struggles, emotions, and search for meaning—are reflected and reshaped by the complexities of the modern world.

At the core of my practice is a deep-seated desire to foster connection and empathy. I am driven to create work for those navigating difficult psychological states, addressing the reality that our most profound feelings often defy easy expression. It is this challenge—finding a language for the unspoken—that fuels my entire artistic process.

My visual language often blends the organic with the surreal. I build worlds, bend realities, and compose images that seek to mirror the dreamlike and sometimes fragmented nature of our own psyche. My process involves finding the tension between familiar forms and uncanny atmospheres. It is in these spaces of friction—where the recognizable meets the strange—that I believe a powerful reflection of our own complex nature can be found.

Ultimately, my artistic exploration is deeply rooted in a desire for a more connected present. By creating maps of our complex emotional landscapes, I hope to create work that does two things at once: it questions our collective experience while also offering a personal point of recognition for anyone trying to make sense of their own inner life. My art exists at that intersection, striving to make us all feel a little more seen.
