A Kindred Spirit

Featured Fine Artist's Statement

Brita

It is hard for me to discuss my own work; like your own handwriting, it is something that, at this point, is simply a part of me. People often ask me: "What inspires you to paint?" or "What's the meaning of your paintings?"

Well, my work is mostly inspired by music, travel and personal experiences. Each painting can either put you in another world, in the middle of a story or simply be the expression in symbols of my inner feelings.

The scenes in my work take place in the twilight of morning or in the last rays of evening, the border between day and night, sleep and waking, bluring the destinction between the reality and the phantoms of the imagination. I want to invite the viewer into a world that is both familiar and unfamiliar, the world of the unconcious and the landscape of the dream, where there is a happy disregard for the laws of everyday reality and where images can become loaded with a subjective meaning that remains enigmatic and only half understood.
