LEIF

Leif Bernhard Bratsberg goes by the artist name LEIF. He was born and raised in Asker and found out early on that he liked to express himself creatively through art. When he was 15 years old, he started painting on both clothes and canvas next to football when a back injury put him out of the sport.

A few years later, he started 404 Design together with Torger Vestgaard, and in a short time the duo received several media reports in, among others, VG for their artistic designs on clothes. LEIF likes to have more iron in the fire, and is an active person. In addition to 404 Design and focus on his own art, he studies graphic design and plays football in New York.

His art is often based on personal experiences or socially relevant themes presented in a playful, humorous and naive way. His expression is strongly linked to his own personality and demeanor, loose, unstructured and energetic.
