Hello, I'm Aase Birkhaug Art ICA .

Painter​,​ physical therapist specialist and Health Coach - Aase Birkhaug ICA International Certified Artist by The International Institute of Artist Accreditation link - https://artistaccreditation.com/en/register/ Botanical Guide at The University in Bergen - The Botanical Gardens ARBORETE and Rosarium and Bergen Botaniske Hage. Believing that surroundings can influence one` s health and mind​,​ Painter and Physiotherapist Aase Birkhaug has combined her two passions by painting roses for a soothing effect on humans. I am compared to the famous Mexican artist Frida Kahlo who said “ I paint flowers so that they shall not die “ and I say” I paint Roses so that I shall not die”. Impact on humans from nature​,​ flora​,​ botanics and for me the most beautiful flower The Rose. I have an Art – Nature – Health project where art​,​ nature physiotherapy​,​ medicin and science walk together hand in hand. I believe that it is possible to heal or change a negative mind to a positive mind. We often search for answers to our questions and believe the complicated answer to be the solution to the complicated question. It is not always like that​,​ if we use the words of the English Association of Healers: Healing is gentle​,​ simple and effective. Having fallen in love with flowers​,​ nature and painting from early age​,​ it was only natural to merge these factors together at some point​,​ and by combining the aesthetic beauty of botany with her skills as a painter. It is documented that colors have an effect on the sensory system​,​ and some years ago I made the waiting room in my physiotherapy office into an exhibition for my paintings​,​ so I discovered that it influenced the patients mental state. My paintings are regularly described as very soft and mild. The color combinations I use are tastefully and delicately fused to make a motif that can be described as very soothing to the eye. I discovered several years ago that Roses have a positive effect on me​,​ almost like healing​,​ and the combination of the smell and the sight feels like a meditation​,​ bringing about a certain calmness​,​ this is something I try to reflect in my paintings. I do my paintings in different media – Aquarelle – Tempera – Gouache – Oil – Acrylics and Pastel. I have been drawing and painting since I was 6 years old. I have had exhibitions both in Norway and several country s abroad during the years 1990 – 2022. Approximately 136 international art exhibitions. Biennales​,​ Art Fairs and Art Expos in 2016 - 2023.
