A poetic mind…
A painter born in Norway, now living and working in Padova in Italy.
Her signature is “SLOTFELDT”
She uses acrylic paints on canvas.
One may call her style “abstract expressionism”.
Irmelin’s art is a clear mirror of her nature, and the strongly poetic ideas in her mind are the first we also see in her paintings.
