Galleri Marianne Skjelbred — Attraction in Bergen

Marianne’s art is world class, and stunning. It has its own ability to make your mind dive straight from the mundane to the extraordinary at any given moment. In short, she creates art that will move your mind and put your soul at rest.

I’ve never been a collector of art. As a young, but well educated individual, I was frustrated that I didn’t get what the fuzz was about. I never had felt that art spoke to me. It didn’t add any value to my daily life, not even when I thought myself to be in the mood for it to do so. However, after I visited Marianne’s gallery, this one piece kept coming back to me. For different reasons it took me almost five years to buy it, but when I did, Marianne was all ears as to how she could be of assistance in the final steps of the purchase. With a high level of professionalism, she helped me with opinions on frames, which type of glas she thought I should use and so on. In retro perspective, it turned out to be a purchase that ads daily value both for me and to my home. Guests are all in awe over the piece, and I receive many compliments on it. These are compliments which I wish I was able to pass on to its great creator.

I hope that Marianne keeps up her hard work, and that she will keep her inspiration so she can keep on inspiring others through her remarkable art.

Allthough I am young, I know I will not part with the piece I bought from Marianne. It will be...

Facing and entering the gallery of Marianne is catching a piece of beautiful - or letting the beautiful entering you. At first you see beautiful paintings, then you notice the remarquable light depicted in them and eventually you naturally start talking with Marianne. You don't calculate, you don't think, you have no filter, you're just living a simple and beautiful time in your day. You say what you see, she listens to you, you talk about you, the way you see life, the way you feel things ; whatever comes inside these walls, you're confident, you communicate, you dare to share through the paintings that surround you and which you're both looking at while the moment flows. Her art discreetly stands between Marianne and you in the conversation as a silent witness, and it also links you. Whether you were coming here on purpose or purely by chance, here you are meeting humble yet powerful paintings catching the soul of a city, and simply discussing life in every matters that spring from this moment with the kindhearted artist. Light surprised you today and invited you to stay and to stare, and Marianne is the source of it.

Å stå foran og gå inn i galleriet til Marianne er å ta et stykke av den vakre - eller å forlate den vakre gå inn deg selv. Ved første blikk ser du vakre malerier, da du bemerker det bemerkelsesverdige lyset representerte inne og til slutt starter du naturligvis å snakke med Marianne. Du beregner ikke, du tenker ikke, du har ingen filter, du bare opplever et enfoldig og vakkert øyeblikk i dagen din. Du sier hva du ser, hun lytter til seg, du snakker om deg selv, om måten du unnfanger livet, måten du føler ting ; uansett hva kommer indre disse veggene, du føler deg tillitsfull, du meddeler, du våger å dele gjennom maleriene som omgir dere og som du både ser mens øyeblikket går. Kunsten hennes står beskjedent mellom Marianne og deg i samtalen som en stille vitne, og den også binder dere. Om du kommet hit med vilje eller bare tilfeldigvis, her du er å møte ydmyke men likevel mektige malerier som fanger sjelen til en by, og simpelthen å diskutere om livet i alle aspekter som dukker opp fra dette øyeblikket med den velvillige kunstneren. Lyset overrasket deg i dag og inviterte deg å restere og å beundre, og Marianne er kilden av det.

Faire face et entrer dans la gallerie de Marianne revient à saisir un peu de beau, ou à laisser le beau entrer en vous. D'abord vous voyez de belles œuvres, puis votre attention s'arrête sur la remarquable lumière qui y est dépeinte, et finalement vous commencez à parler naturellement avec Marianne. Vous ne calculez pas ni ne pensez, il n'y a pas de filtre, vous vivez juste un simple et joli moment dans votre journée. Vous exprimez ce que vous voyez, elle vous écoute, vous parlez de vous-même, de la façon dont vous voyez la vie, dont vous ressentez les choses ; peu importe ce qui vient à l'intérieur de ces murs, vous êtes en confiance, vous communiquez, vous osez partager à travers la peinture qui vous entoure et que vous regardez ensemble alors que le temps s'écoule. Dans la conversation, son art se tient pudiquement entre Marianne et vous comme un témoin silencieux, et aussi, il vous lie. Que vous soyez venus ici expressément ou purement par hasard, vous voilà découvrant d'humbles et puissantes toiles qui captent l'âme d'une ville, tout en discutant de la vie dans tous les aspects qui jaillissent de ce moment avec la bienveillante artiste en toute simplicité. La lumière vous a surpris aujourd'hui et vous a invité à rester et à admirer, et Marianne en...

Me and my wife stepped into Marianne's studio in Bergen and were immediately impressed by this " New Age" artist collection of her art! She immediately met us and gladly showed us various paintings! Marianne 's style is bold and so tasteful. I love discovering little details that are imbedded in the painting we bought. Marianne is a beautiful person both inside as well as outside and gracious welcoming to her studio and so excited to show her art collection. You feel like you are getting to know the artist and her style but not being rushed or hustled.We are so proud to have her work in our home! We look forward to adding to our collection...
