About

Anne Hasla is a contemporary artist working in a figurative language. Her practice is grounded in a direct, painterly technique—warm tonal structures, assertive brushwork, and a steady attention to how a mark can hold both precision and spontaneity. She build images through layered decisions, letting the surface stay alive and honest, so the viewer can feel the rhythm of her making and the time embedded in it.

Working from a Scandinavian and Norwegian visual sensibility, Hasla often draws on everyday scenes—meals, gatherings, quiet moments, and landscapes shaped by contemporary life. Her paintings combine intimacy with subtle tension, where beauty, leisure, and familiarity are gently complicated by an underlying awareness of the present moment.

Alongside her art practice, Hasla has worked for many years as a designer in the fashion industry, developing graphic work and illustrations as part of her professional practice. This background informs her sensitivity to color, material, and composition, as well as her attention to detail and visual rhythm.

She also undertakes commissioned work, including painterly artworks, illustrations, and more graphic visual projects.
