Marianne Enhörning is a West Coast Canadian artist whose Swedish heritage, deep family history, and years spent moving between wild coastlines and structured urban environments continue to shape her creative vision. Her background in architecture, alongside her lifelong intimacy with nature, informs a practice grounded in both precision and intuition.

Working in mixed media, Marianne creates evocative, dreamlike compositions that flow between three distinct yet interwoven realms: the figurative, the abstract, and the landscape. Each piece arises from a profound longing for a world marked by inclusivity, equality, and quiet generosity—a world rooted in simplicity and kindness.

Her process unfolds through a dynamic interplay of bold, textured strokes and fine, delicate lines. She begins by engaging the tension between positive and negative space, allowing form and emptiness to guide the work forward. Layer by layer, she explores the subtle territories between looseness and structure, preserving rhythm and motion as the painting evolves. When she senses herself becoming overly fixated, Marianne will often turn the canvas upside down, shifting her perspective and inviting the work to speak in new ways.

Through this intuitive, responsive approach, her paintings emerge as immersive, emotionally resonant worlds—spaces where clarity and mystery coexist, and where the viewer is invited to linger in the quiet beauty of what lies before them.
