“Painting for me is an active dialogue between the unconscious and the conscious where new form starts to emerge with a life of its own, charged with content. The content reveals the expression of new form in Art; figurative, yet abstract and metaphorical. With this language, the image can transcend the individual human experience, and express the rawest aspects of the human condition with powerful meaning.” Torild Stray.


" Torild Stray integrates abstract and representational painting  to create depictions of the human condition. There is an otherwordly tenacity about the figures in her paintings."
" The vocabulary of the paintings draws from a gathered iconography - an iconography of personal and emotional significance that restores to each universal symbol the value stripped by the cant (insincere statements ) that has become so common in our age."
Quotes by O.Karlin, independent NY writer
