Hilde Strand

I paint because I have to…

Hemnesværingen Hilde Strand is a magician with watercolor paints.

With her own gallery in Mo i Rana, she offers visual experiences from both the animal world, local nature and local industry.

Many have had their pets immortalized by her. With her background as an agronomist and a steady watercolor brush, Hilde manages to capture the most incredible details.

"Motifs appear everywhere, some fleeting and others more concrete. The hope is to get a good idea in addition (…) The process is for my own part. The finished painting is for anyone who might find something to consider. The times when both I and the surroundings find something in my pictures, it feels like I am succeeding in communicating it."
