Atelier Winther

Tania is a multidisciplinary artist, poet, designer and interiordesigner, based in Trondheim, Norway.

With a wide and diverse background in both the sciences and the art, her creative expression finds inspiration through her interdisciplinary approach to all designs, installations, illustrations, writing and artwork.

"My art is an exploration of the intersection between nature and technology, where the organic and the digital collide. Through mixed media installations, I aim to evoke a sense of wonder and contemplation about our relationship with the natural world in the digital age. By merging organic forms with glitched visuals and incorporating recycled materials, I create immersive environments that invite viewers to question the impact of technology on our environment and our connection to the Earth. Through my work, I seek to foster a dialogue about the delicate balance between progress and preservation, and the importance of reconnecting with our roots."

"In my paintings, I delve into the depths of the human psyche, exposing the complexities of our emotions and the masks we wear. Through the layering of vibrant colors, bold brushstrokes, and symbolic imagery, I strive to convey the hidden narratives within us all. My work is an exploration of identity, vulnerability, and the inherent contradictions we navigate in our daily lives. By capturing fleeting moments of introspection, I aim to create a visual language that resonates with viewers on a profound and introspective level, encouraging them to reflect on their own experiences and embrace their authentic selves."

"As a sculptor, I am captivated by the transformative power of found objects. Through my assemblages, I give new life to discarded materials, inviting viewers to reconsider notions of value and beauty. By repurposing rusted metal, weathered wood, and forgotten artifacts, I explore the inherent narratives embedded within these objects. Each sculpture tells a story of resilience, of how the forgotten can be reborn and cherished. My work serves as a reflection on our throwaway culture and a call to reevaluate our relationship with the material world. Through the act of creation, I strive to inspire a sense of hope and reconnection with the forgotten treasures that surround us."

"My work exists in the dynamic space between art and design, where form and function merge to create immersive experiences. Through my installations and interactive sculptures, I explore the boundaries of utility and aesthetics. I draw inspiration from architectural elements, nature's organic forms, and the human experience. By combining unconventional materials, innovative technologies, and meticulous craftsmanship, I seek to blur the lines between art and design, provoking viewers to question the relationship between beauty, purpose, and human interaction. My aim is to create spaces and objects that engage both the senses and the intellect, inviting viewers to actively participate in the artistic dialogue."
I believe that by questioning the conventional definitions of art and design, we can open up new possibilities for creativity and enhance our everyday experiences."

"Ugliness is beauty by another name. Its essence is as pure as that of beauty. Its significance is no less important than beauty. Ugliness and beauty share the same core of being."

Winther's guiding principle's are:

1.-The stage of methamorphosis and it's beauty.
2 –We are here and now and never there and then.
3 –Giving objects new contexts and contexts new objects
4 –The art of suffering. Suffering is an artform.

"Having being raised almost nomandic, traveling the world and living in several countries, since a child, definitely has put an imprint on my mind and makes me see the world a little differently. I have often found that my observations and impressions of things in the everyday life, can greatly differ from others impressions".

I am here and this is me expressing myself and how I see the world. I hope you like what I have to offer:-)
