Who is Lea Alstad?

Lea Alstad (b.2000) is a young Norwegian contemporary artist

In her paintings, she deals with the complexity of the human being, where she portrays both face and body. The paintings of the body are inspired by anatomical drawings, where she captures the muscle fibers and contours with the help of brush strokes and colors. In her portraits, she works layer upon layer with different mediums. Including acrylic, oil, ink and water colour. This creates a variation in texture and a mix between abstraction and realism. Several of the images have parts left to the imaginary, which also gives you the feeling that you are getting "under the skin".

Lea Alstad received a Dream Scholarship from Norsk Tipping in 2021 and a scholarship from the Norwegian Culture Council and the Talent Scholarship, Sparebank 1 in 2021.

She has had a large number of solo exhibitions, participated in several group exhibitions and has been purchased by the private and public sector. She donated a painting to the TV campaign to raise income for Doctors Without Borders in 2022 and the price went well over a six-figure amount.
