about

Bjork is known for her striking delineation of human emotion. The viewer feels the art, rather than exclusively viewing it. Each piece holds something more than mere paint on canvas; they portray ideas, thoughts and feelings. To her, the most memorable works of art are those you can experience. Bjork mainly operates in oils, and pen & ink. Her style is an amalgam of expressionism and photorealism. Bjork utilizes striking colors to bring her pieces to life. She promotes a variety of brush techniques ranging from soft fine detail, to dramatic brush strikes. Bjork specializes in the expression of human emotion.

“Humans are particularly fascinating to me,” She replied to a curious onlooker who asked what she enjoyed painting most. “There is so much history, experience and emotion toiling behind the eyes of regular people that I am absolutely consumed at the idea of trying to capture it.”

Technique came with the mixture of vision and emotion. “It’s impossible to truly seize an emotion and plaster it to a piece of canvas,” Bjork explains. “But the way a piece is painted can give emphasis to the feeling I’m trying to emit.” For a more rigorous piece she uses rough, blotched movements to give it a powerful, impressive feeling. A portrait with a tranquil expression is painted with much softer strokes and blended edges. “There is no end to the depth of a human’s character, and I very much appreciate the use of colors and technique to help express the unique voice of each piece.”
