With pencil in hand, as a young boy at Toten, Einar Sandvold began to explore his creative path and discovered a world of endless possibilities. This original passion for drawing was the basis for his entire artistic growth and expression.
It was a few years later, at Einar Granum Art School, that Sandvold found the opportunity to develop artistically. Here he began to explore new aspects of himself and his artistry and quickly understood that this was the path for him to follow. The architecture in his work represents something that stands steady and constant. Inside these forms exists a chaos of a challenging past.
Einar experiments with the feelings that arise when we are placed in the boxes and frames that society requires in order for us to be accepted and understood. Through this, he creates architectural building blocks that reflect this dynamism.
He sets out to create a new brutalist and surreal landscape, where past and present merge into a colorful and expressive universe.
After a couple of years, the artist has returned to the pencil
and developed a new drawing universe. Here he merges memories from the past with visions of the future and creates an organic and evocative landscape that depicts man's search for light and meaning. In contrast to the architectural and symbol-heavy paintings, we can witness adventurous lines, soft contrasts and soulful creatures.
Einar Sandvold has a burning desire to constantly move forward
exploring boundaries that constrain us to social structures.
