About the artist
Harald Schioldborg Jr. (1958) grew up in Norway and lives in Asker, outside Oslo. Until 4 years ago his professional life revolved around shipping and international transport, out of which more than 10 years abroad.

Whilst he has nutured art as a hobby during most of his life, it was only when he decided to become a fulltime artist, that his expressions came to real life. He has studied under several well renowned teachers and has over the years participated in several group exhibitions as well as hosted solo exhibitions, both in Norway and abroad. He is now by many considered to be one of Norway’s most promising contemporary artists.

His pictures vary in expressions, depending on choice of material and size – but ultimately colours and light is the main emphasis.
