Family

Hi, I’m David Elboth—a 67-year-old originally from Oslo, now living in Nittedal, Norway.

Family is at the heart of my life. I’m married to Vigdis Enge, and together we have three children: Simon, Håvard, and Julie.

Beyond family, I have a wide range of interests that keep me curious and active. I love coding, writing articles and books (with a strong focus on open source and Linux), and exploring both on-grid and off-grid solutions. I hold a master’s degree in astrophysics, so the universe is never far from my mind. To stay balanced, I enjoy running, swimming, and playing a bit of chess.

I’m also proud of my Scottish heritage—a thread of my identity I carry with me.

Thanks for stopping by—feel free to explore and stay a while.

Pictures from my artistic family

My old kitchen

In this section, you’ll find a collection of paintings by my son, Simon. When he’s not creating art, Simon works as a veterinarian at the Røykås clinic. One of his great passions is photography, and as you can see, he is also a remarkably talented artist.

Old press

The next piece is made from clay and depicts fossilized dinosaur bones turned to stone. We all learn in school that dinosaur skeletons are bones that have fossilized. Over millions of years, mineral-rich water percolates through the remains of these ancient reptiles, gradually transforming their organic structure into something much harder. This version, however, is simply made from homemade clay.

Below, you’ll find more artwork by Simon, along with a few pieces created by my wife, Vigdis Enge.

Her daughter, Martha Fein, is a professional mixed-media artist specializing in supernatural photorealism. Her work excites and uplifts, drawing inspiration from the natural world to create uniquely paintings. You can see some of her pictures below.
