Mona Angeltun Nygård is an artist based in Norway, working with pastel and acrylic painting in a style that combines technical precision with warmth and vitality. Drawing inspiration primarily from nature and wildlife, she creates vibrant, photorealistic works that convey joy, peace, and presence.

​

With a keen eye for detail and an intuitive understanding of color and atmosphere, Angeltun invites the viewer into encounters with animals and landscapes that often go unnoticed in daily life. Her artistic practice is characterized by a strong desire to magnify the familiar and make the unknown known – to build connections between humans and nature through visual storytelling. Her works not only depict subjects but embody an intention: to bring nature into the home and create lasting, positive experiences.

Angeltun has worked as an artist for over ten years, having turned to art after a prolonged illness led her to seek a more peaceful and creative life. What began as a hobby quickly developed into a deep artistic practice, rooted in both professional dedication and personal passion. In recent years, she has also experimented with more painterly and free expressions, while maintaining the photorealistic foundation that defines her style.

The artist places great emphasis on quality throughout the entire process – from subject selection and composition to technique and finish. The result is work that clearly reflects time, care, and a genuine joy for the visual. Angeltun’s art appeals to both the senses and the emotions, leaving a lasting impression on the viewer.
