Mamta Herland
Brief Bio/CV, Artist's Statement
Biography
Mamta Baruah Herland, Norwegian artist originally from Assam in India, studied visual arts in Sydney College of Arts, University of New South Wales, Australia, Graphic Design in Oslo and MA Fine Art Painting from Winchester School of Arts, University of Southampton, UK.

Statement
Besides the experimentation and exploration of digital tools and techniques, placing into newer context, my work dissolve the illusion of true space creating images in a dimension neither true to perspective, nor graphically flat; instead, the images exist in a sort of dream-place, where ephemeral figures appear as if born of air and imagination. These mystical images explore "the links between technology and emotion, reality and dreams, rationality and magic," and are digital composites which transcend the original work from which they were created. Manipulated skyscapes, images from nature, abstractions and portraiture are juxtaposed in these experimental works with a lyrical and surrealistic effect.
