Heidi Maria Steinback Sørensen

Heidi Maria Steinback Sørensen (b. 1967) is not merely an author; she is the pioneer of "naive-coloristic expressionism," an independent art movement she has defined and practiced both on canvas and on paper. Residing in Skutvik on Hamarøy, Norway, she runs Sørensens Galleri og Skriveri (Sørensen’s Gallery and Writing Room), a creative space where words and imagery merge into a unified whole.Her authorship is deeply shaped by this unique approach, creating texts that are not just read, but experienced as visual landscapes. In an era often dominated by minimalism, she chooses a maximalist richness—an uncompromising colorism in written form. She moves boldly between the absurd and the sacred, between raw vulnerability and profound existential comfort.Her books span fables of sibling loyalty, prayers for those searching for meaning, and essays that explore the human condition with analytical depth. Drawing on her background in art therapy and as a folk and hymn singer, she brings a musical rhythm and a therapeutic curiosity to her writing.Heidi Maria Steinback Sørensen is a voice that dares to be both grounded and heaven-bound. With a quirky perspective and a deliberate naivety that goes far beyond simple innocence, she offers the reader an experience as unique as the art movement she has created.
