Lavrans Borgen's paintings are characterized by warm, clear colors and clear motifs. The images are built up of color fields separated by black and white lines. This gives a clear and stylish expression. The images are saturated with color, but equally airy. People and animals are depicted against a lively background, where motif and background highlight each other. The artistic expression balances the graphic with the organic, the simple with the expressive. The motifs often convey a calmness - it is good for the viewer to rest their eyes on the paintings. People and relationships are depicted with clarity and warmth. Borgen explores, among other things, family relationships - mother and son, father and son, and the sibling relationship. Here, security, affection and gratitude are central themes. On the other hand, Lavrans is very fascinated by how chaotic, humorous and strange interactions can occur, both between people and animals.

The moods in the pictures communicate with the viewer's own history and close relationships, and with longings that lie within us all. With their colorfulness, the pictures meet the viewer in an open and friendly way. The pictures immediately give something to the viewer - directly and clearly. At the same time, the pictures have more to offer, if the motifs are given time to affect the viewer. Lavrans Borgen displays a great variety in colors and motifs, but all the paintings bear the young artist's clear mark and recognizable expression.
