Einar grew up in rural Toten, on the countryside in a small
town called Raufoss. While his family life was safe and
harmonious, his outside surroundings was not. Many years
of systematic bullying created a skepticism and uncertainty
towards what his life could bring.
He started his creative path with a pencil in hand, and
discovered shelter - and a world of endless possibilities. His
passion for drawing laid the foundation for his artistic
growth and expression.
It was a few years later, at Einar Granum School of Art, that
he found the opportunity to develop artistically. Here, he
began to explore new aspects of himself and his artistry,
quickly realising that this was the path he wanted to pursue.
The architecture in his works represents something solid
and constant in life. Inside these forms, chaos exists,
stemming from a challenging past.
Einar experiments with
the emotions that arise when we are placed in the boxes and
frameworks that society demands us to stay in.
He creates a new brutalist and surreal landscape, where the
past and present merge into a colourful and expressive
universe.
Einar Sandvold has a burning desire to constantly move forward
exploring boundaries that constrain us to sosial structures.
