About Sunniva Sunde Krogseth
Sunniva Sunde Krogseth (Bergen, 1987) works with storytelling through text and images. She has a BA from Oslo National Academy of the Arts and a MFA from Konstfack, Stockholm.
Her work evolves around nature, the power of imagination and play and how the world can be experienced from a child’s perspective. She combines analogue and digital drawing techniques, enjoying the mistakes, surprises and the crookedness of hand-drawn work. Her works contain a love of nature, hidden creatures, and magical atmospheres.
