<3 Britt Salver er født og opvokset i Store Vildmose i en håndværksfamilie som den ældste af 4. Naturen var tæt på, skoven en vigtig del af opvæksten og siden har hun altid boet tæt på skov.
Hun kom i gymnasiet, selvom de ikke havde råd, men mor skubbede på. Au pair i London – den allerførste udenlandsrejse var en stor oplevelse.
Hun blev ulandsfrivillig i Kenya på en skole for handicappede børn. ”Stærke indtryk, som kom til at betyde meget for mig. En virkelig øjenåbner.” Det har altid været børns og kvinders vilkår, der har fascineret Britt.
Fik mand og datter og boede i Odense i 30 år. Skolelærer i billedkunst og dansk – faktisk hele livet, selvom de sidste 15 år var på en erhvervsskole. ”Det var godt at prøve noget andet.”
Kunsten kom i centrum ret sent. Hun begyndte at male store portrætter af børn. Hun havde brug for at bearbejde indtrykkene af tiden som lærer. Det blev til 50 portrætter 1x1 m. De blev udstillet i NATOs Hovedkvarter i Bruxelles. Overskuddet gik til afghanske kvinder. ”Man får kuldegysninger, når man tænker på de vilkår, de lever under."
Britt Salver er altid aktiv og får noget fra hånden. Hun står bl.a. for det grafiske værksted i Gribskov, hvor hun bor nu.
Og kunsten skifter. Lige nu er hun bidt af grafik, paptryk, linoleumstryk. Motiverne er som altid mennesker, dyr, natur og cykler.

Britt Salver was born and raised in Store Vildmose in a crafts family as the oldest of 4. Nature was close, the forest an important part of growing up and since then she has always lived close to the forest.
She went to high school, even though they couldn't afford it, but her mother pushed her. Au pair in London – the very first trip abroad was a great experience.
She became a development volunteer in Kenya at a school for disabled children. "Strong impressions, which came to mean a lot to me. A real eye-opener." It has always been the conditions of children and women that have fascinated Britt.
Got a husband and daughter and lived in Odense for 30 years. School teacher in visual arts and Danish – in fact her whole life, although the last 15 years were at a vocational school. "It was good to try something different."
Art came into focus quite late. She started painting large portraits of children. She needed to process the impressions of her time as a teacher. The result was 50 portraits 1x1 m. They were exhibited at NATO Headquarters in Brussels. The proceeds went to Afghan women. "You get chills when you think about the conditions they live under."
Britt Salver is always active and has something to do. She is responsible for the graphic workshop in Gribskov, where she now lives.
And art is changing. Right now she is fascinated by graphics, cardboard printing, lino printing. The motifs are, as always, people, animals, nature and bicycles.

GRAPHIC GRAFIK

En lille fortælling om mig...

a short story about me...

MALERI AKVAREL TEGNING GRAFIK SKULPTUR
- genkendelige udtryk og abstraktioner
- forskellige materialer og størrelser
- temaer og serier
- mennesker, naturen, cyklen
- små og store formater

BALANCE er det overordnede brede begreb, som er aktuelt for mig -
det var det i 2024, det er det i 2025...
Vand - under og over fladen, det overnaturlige og det virkelige.
Bevægelser i vand...
Mennesker og vand...
Kvinders liv optager mig.
Jeg prøver at finde frem til de spor livet sætter i krop og sjæl.
Fugle har jeg et godt øje til.
De blander sig, de er overalt.
Og nyt dukker op...

HÅB - DRØM - ØNSKE
for mig er, at mine værker kan vække til
glæde, undring og eftertanke i forbifarten,
ja, måske føre til et stop på vejen...
PAINTING WATERCOLOR DRAWING GRAPHICS SCULPTURE
- recognizable expressions and abstractions
- different materials and sizes
- themes and series
- people, nature, the bicycle
- small and large formats

BALANCE is the overall broad concept that is relevant to me -
it was so in 2024, it is in 2025…
Water - below and above the surface, the supernatural and the real.
Movements in water...
People and water...
Women's lives fascinate me.
I try to find the traces life leaves on body and soul.
I have a good eye for birds.
They mingle, they are everywhere.
And new things appear...

HOPE - DREAM - WISH
for me is that my works can arouse
joy, wonder and reflection in passing,
yes, maybe lead to a stop on the road…

Når man er kvinde, kigger man på andre kvinder. I Kenya var det kvinderne, der arbejdede, tog sig af børnene og bar det hele oppe. Jeg kan huske kvinderne fra min barndom, slidte, skæve i ryggen, tunge og brede, formet af det liv, de havde levet.
When you are a woman, you look at other women. In Kenya, it was the women who worked, took care of the children and carried it all. I remember the women from my childhood, worn, crooked in the back, heavy and broad, shaped by the life they had lived.

GALLERY

Qualified art teacher and active as a teacher for many, many years, before I surrendered to my "picture world" with a large wing span.
This has led to many experiences with various exhibitions both outside and at home.
I spread myself over many areas, and that's just the way it is.
Uddannet billedkunstlærer og aktiv som lærer i mange mange år, inden jeg overgav mig til min "billedverden" med et stort vingefang.
Det har ført til mange oplevelser med forskellige udstillinger både ude og hjemme.
Jeg spreder mig over mange områder, og sådan er det bare!
