Espen Tollefsen, born 1963 in Narvik, Norway.

Lives in Oslo and Andøya, Norway.

Works with art projects based on photography and photographic illustration for books, magazines and theatres.

The starting point for much of his artwork can be found his origins
by the rugged seashores within the Arctic circle. His affinity with landscape is evident in his work. He works to commission and independently, with architects, interior designers, art directors and theatre designers, using a wide range of techniques.

In Oslo, he is a member of Lavetthuset Artists' Studios on
Hovedøya, an island in the Oslo fjord. Lavetthuset is a historic
building that provides workspace for six artists, and has
a showroom and two galleries that are open during
the summer months. Member of NNBK / NBK.

Each of the four members of the Tollefsen family work in different
fields of art, craft and design. Although they live in different parts
of Norway, they meet several times a year on the island of Andøya
in the Vesterålen archipelago in Northern Norway. Together they run
Atelier Nøss, a gallery and artists' studio on Andøya, which gathers
the creative energies of the Tollefsen family.
