Love Terins (b. 1993, Malmö, SE) studied at the Oslo National Academy of the Arts and Österlens School of Art and Design in Simrishamn.

In Terins' paintings, movement, repetition, and contrasts are explored. She is particularly concerned with the sensory experience that arises in the meeting between the work and the viewer, and the way that visuality of the painting has a bodily influence. The works alternate between figuration and abstraction, depth and flatness, and the paintings appear as a symbiosis of different patterns and color combinations. The various pictorial elements are often inspired by textiles and painterly expressions, giving the impression of optical illusions of space and movement. Terins sees her paintings as portals into a universe where patterns, shapes, and contrasts are transformed by each other. Tight and playful stripes are combined with large, undulating floral arrangements and other forms, opening a range of interpretation possibilities.

Terins is in the collection of the Central Bank of Norway and Art in the Workplace.
