Rafner

Rafner is an emerging multidisciplinary artist whose work seamlessly blends vivid abstraction with subtle explorations of memory and place. Born in 1992 in Oslo, Norway, Rafner draws inspiration from the Nordic landscape, urban textures, and personal narrative, channeling these influences into paintings, digital collages, and immersive installations. After studying fine art at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts, Rafner developed a unique visual language, marked by bold color palettes, layered compositions, and a recurring tension between chaos and calm.

Over the past decade, Rafner’s works have been exhibited in solo and group shows across Scandinavia and Central Europe, garnering critical praise for their emotional depth and conceptual clarity. Rafner continues to push the boundaries of contemporary art through experimentation and collaboration, fueled by a deep curiosity about how spaces—both physical and psychological—influence individual and collective memories.
