Pia Antonsen Rognes is a visual artist from Trondheim, Norway.

Opposing associations and anthropomorphic qualities are consistent expressions in her sculptural work, and link to a thematic investigation of destructive behaviour.

Pia recieved a Master's degree in Fine Arts from Iceland Academy of the Arts, and a Bachelor's degree specializing in textile from the Bergen National Academy of the Arts.
