ABOUT FIA KVISSBERG’S ART

The dream of riding the ”orange horse” (enamel painting) through the streets of Macondo gives me the security to wander and study the wide spectrum of images that Fia Kvissberg has created in recent years.

My first thought rests largely on the novel ”One Hundred Years of Solitude” by Garcia Marquez. Macondo is a place where pre-Columbian and African folk beliefs still live side by side mixed with Catholicism, where magic is accepted as part of everyday life.
In Fia Kvissberg’s magical realism, the images tell a self-evident part of everyday life and convey a mixture of dreams and reality, where the magical is part of our existence.

Fia Kvissberg’s visual world is inspired by personal experiences, trips to India, Chile and Mexico. Encounters with people, new cultures and places have contributed to creating a colorful and solid imagery.
Fia Kvissberg’s fairyland is a tribute to life.

Fia can experiment with anything, everything is allowed, there are no limits. Curiosity and a strong desire to constantly search have led Fia to investigate and delve into different techniques, painting, graphics and sculpture.

The intensity, playfulness and color palette offer the viewer a world of rich image variations, Fia tells stories. Imagination always triumphs over probability, or rather, it is the truth that Fia feels within herself, the truth of the heart of the mind, that triumphs over visual truth. In the world Fia Kvissberg creates, the laws of the physical world are abolished, there are no boundaries between the different kingdoms of nature and the different stages of the event. As an artist, Fia never feels limited by visible reality. She distributes her colors with complete freedom and creates an intimate and personal imagery.

For Fia, the titles are as important as the image. Title and image harmonize, complement each other and enhance the mystery.

Horses, wolves, cats, dogs, hippos, monkeys and figures nourish her rich way of composing the images, where poetry and music reinforce the different stories.
As a viewer of her art, I feel invited to experience her stories and different stages in the multifaceted image creation.

Fia Kvissberg is fully active and thus continues to give us insights into her captivating images of poetry and magic.
