(b. 1986, Norway)
Norwegian visual artist working primarily with sculpture and metal-based wall reliefs. Her practice operates at the intersection of sculpture and painting, treating metal as a painterly medium.

Working with materials such as steel, copper, aluminum, and titanium,
she uses heat, welding, drilling, and molten metal to explore mark-making as both a physical and expressive gesture.
Van Veen works often take the form of hybrid surfaces, simultaneously relief, image, and object-drawing on traditions of ornament and decorative painting, including references to Norwegian rosemaling.

Van Veen’s practice emphasizes texture, irregularity, and the tension between control and material resistance, where the gesture of the hand remains visible within industrial processes.

Van Veen holds an MFA from the Iceland Academy of the Arts and a BFA from Emily Carr University of Art and Design.
