Anna-Theresé (Eivindsdotter) Svartvadet is a Swedish-Norwegian artist who creates art in resin and acrylics. Her art is transformed into unique crafts through precision and patience, where each motif is produced only once.
Epoxy Resin is widely used for flooring and sealing boats. When combined with hardeners, it creates a strong durable substance suitable for various industrial applications. While relatively new in the art world, where figurative motifs are still rare, resin is gaining popularity.
Through various experiments, she has developed her unique technique for creating resin motifs. These motifs are crafted using various dropper bottles and spatulas since brushes aren’t suitable for the material. Each layer of resin requires approximately 20 hours to cure, resulting in a distinctive expression that’s heavily influenced by temperature and consistency. If you’re seeking fresh and exciting art, this is it.
