I really like the subtle style of this artwork by Katrine, who lives in Norway. Soft, muted colors and hand-drawn characters steal the show, but take a closer look and you’ll see that these are actually collages. Pieces of furniture are beautifully clipped out and incorporated into some pieces, while in others surreal patterns drift almost undetected over the image.

The figures are cute but somewhat melancholy, which matches the color schemes and overall faded vintage look of the artwork. It’s worth pointing out that Katrine’s pieces are printed on Epson Ultrachrome Ink, whose pigment formulation lasts longer than dye-based inks. In addition to her Etsy store, Katrine also keeps a blog and portfolio that are definitely worth a visit.
