I, Katarina Caspersen, work as a scenographer, exhibition designer, visual artist and doing workshops.
I graduated from the Oslo Academy of Fine Arts with a bachelor’s in design and later a master’s in design and scenography (2013-2018). Drawing and painting are always with me, I often work with drawing together with movement, through digital drawing which I draw live in interaction with dance, body or architecture in space.
My art is bodily, painterly and tactile in the form of experimentation with a wide range of materials and manipulation of them.
