Edvarda Aslaksen Braanaas (born 11 December 1963) is a Norwegian artist currently living and working in Oslo, Norway.

She was recognized in 2006 on the Norwegian art scene, as a front figure for revitalizing figurative painting in her contemporary renaissance fashion, that have become part of her trademark.

Edvarda started her artistic training in Venice, Italy in 1983. In 1986 she attended Oslo national academy of the arts in Norway followed by studies in art-history at Oslo University, Faculty of humanities.

Edvarda has consistantly used paint and printmaking techniques, but drawing has always been the foundation of her practice.

  • (2006) Ingerid, Synnøve og Elias fegerstens stiftelse legat [1]
  • (2005) Billedkunstnernes vederlagsfond [2]
  • (1995) Christian Lorck og Schives legat [3]

In addition she has had a number of solo exhibitions and participated in several national and international group exhibitions.

A meeting with Edvardas work can be likened to a spirited journey through a host of well known images, collected and presented in a beautiful way. Her work is comprised of layer upon layer of reference and meaning collected in a non hierarchical mix, everything from renaissance imagery, fashion photography and personal writings. Her paintings are often designated as surrealistic with erotic undertones. Her inspirations are artists like Paula Rego, Paul Delvaux and Balthus.

But she has an equally great fascination for icons in pop culture, the kind we know from advertising, film and photography. Edvarda revitalizes the beauty in art by investigating modern aesthetics with its manipulating qualities. Yet her work is very personal and much of her work refers to her childhood memories from growing up in an artistic and intellectual family.
