Biography
Lise Nymark is a visual artist based in Nesodden and Stord, Norway. Art photography has become the medium for her visual contribution to issues in the area of social relationships and spatial awareness.
In 2022 she started a PhD fellowship in art education at Western Norway University of applied sciences. She studied for her MA at the University of South-East Norway (2016), Special Needs Education at UiO (2008) and her BA at Oslo Met (1998). In 2019 she completed her studies at BilderNordic, School of photography in Oslo.
Drawing on experiences from recent artistic studies Nymark has further developed this work to include photographic considerations of how the surroundings affect us. Nymark is pondering the questions of human presence in physical and fictional spaces and is immersed in projects that investigates the edge between different realities. In ongoing projects Nymark investigates human interactions in relation to each other, and with various spatial surroundings. Traditional stories of belief, superstition and mythology inspires her visual work of abstract and philosophical considerations and questions the importance of different realities, and real truths. She is pondering questions of our physical existence, using the aesthetic to guide the viewer into reflections of how reality and fiction appear together as a cohesive whole.
Alongside her practice, Nymark is strongly engaged with cultural activities for teenagers and about the youngsters’ opportunities to develop cultural identity. As a lecturer in photography, arts and crafts she works with young student’s cultural expressions and cooperate with the local fine art association to set up and curate exhibitions in collaboration with the youths.
