Born 1948. Lives and works in Oslo, Norway. After more than three decades as a Creative Director and copywriter, the transition to being a full time artist felt just right.

At this time, his experience with a broad specter of visual media, techniques and ways of expression is what is most important and informs his work.

Øystein Blegen Hoel is educated in visual communication, dramaturgy, journalism and marketing. His art training is from Nydalen Art School, Dalype Art School, Westerdals, as well as private tutoring with established artists and professionals. However, self studies and discussions is his priority and has taken him to places like Denmark, Netherlands, Spain and Italy.

Øystein is associated with PURE RAW BLENDED Art Group and NYSNØ Art Group.
