I have long been an admirer of traditional Norwegian Rosemaling, and decided to start a small personal project to study the shapes and colours often used in the art form, before creating a digital illustration inspired by it.

I wanted to create something that could be used as a frame for a stylized portrait I created recently, in the same simplistic style.

I had a lot of fun playing around with the colours, which led me to create a variation with different use of the same colours.
