A child of a Norwegian father and a Spanish mother, Aina spent her early years toggling between school in the frigid north to hot summers in the heart of Spain -- a life that was bound to teach her many languages. Five to be exact. Add to that sum Aina's study of various "languages" in the visual arts. First with her mother on painting excursions to the "White Villages" in the south of Spain, practicing in her mother's studio in Seville, and then being instructed formally in art school where she was required to copy the Old Masters, including Velasquez, Vermeer and Goya.
