The Seven Sisters

by artist Natalie Holstad

This abstract work reimagines the legendary Seven Sisters waterfall of Norway, where myth and landscape intertwine. Striking layers of blue, white, fuchsia, and gold suggest cascading waters and mountain terrain lit by shifting skies. Textured drips and strokes capture the raw energy of the sun and nature in motion. Inspired by the ancient tale of seven sisters pursued under moonlight, the painting transforms myth into contemporary abstraction, inviting the viewer to see both the drama of the story and the timeless beauty of the fjord.
