Narrative

Cler, a retired English nurse once stationed in Norway, believed she saw a part of her past in one of Klementsen’s artworks. She had lost a cherished photo—two friends on a bench in Oslo, captured in a fleeting, emotional moment. The image was never meant to be famous, just remembered. Now reborn in “STORY OF CLER,” her moment is no longer lost. The artwork has become a vessel—for memory, loss, and the quiet magic of being seen again.

Style & Technique

Using AI to reconstruct textures and moods beyond the physical, Klementsen transforms anonymous faces into emotional maps. The composition blurs the line between anonymity and intimacy, with visual cues rooted in real life but interpreted through poetic abstraction.

Color Palette

Dusty warm greys, charcoal shadows, and light-fractured soft reds. The palette feels like memory itself—part real, part gone.

Rooted in a real, emotional backstory

Gallery-scale quality and resolution

Full rights allow for both private or institutional collection

The Real Story of Cler (Short Narrative)

Cler was an English nurse in her late 60s, once stationed in Norway during a NATO humanitarian exercise in the early 2000s. She loved photography and had a quiet fascination with strangers—moments stolen in time, faces in crowds. Years later, now retired, she discovered Morten Klementsen’s artwork online and saw a piece that stirred something too familiar: a digitally abstracted version of a photo she once took.

One morning, she called the artist. Her voice was careful, touched with reverence. “I believe that image came from something I once captured—though perhaps not directly. The eyes, the curve of the light, even the mood... it matches a photo I lost after a flood ruined my archives.”

She wasn’t angry. She wasn’t seeking credit. She was asking if the art could carry a story that had faded—about two friends she once photographed in Oslo, sitting quietly on a bench, one wearing a scarf the color of storm clouds, the other lighting a cigarette with hands that shook from something more than cold.

There was no scandal. No drama. Just a moment. One that had slipped away.

Now, this image—reborn through the filter of AI and memory—has become a placeholder for that past. A placeholder for all lost moments that deserve to live again, not for fame or answers, but for the beauty of being seen.
