​My mind creates art.

The passion for art and creativity has always accompanied me in many different ways. My art work originates from my subconsciousness which means that I do not pre-determine what is going to be painted. It is the canvas itself that chooses a motive while I feed it with energy, color and structure. I use acrylic paint and linen canvas in my art work.

Standing in front of a blank canvas sheet I begin an exciting journey not knowing what I am about to paint. The painting communicates with me and unfolds its message along the way.  My motives are never chosen beforehand and colors are picked spontaneously. Everything around me seems to evanesce and I become one with the canvas. Sometimes, when I paint, I stop for a moment awaiting the “art goddess” to come and wake the painting to life.

The feeling of not knowing what is about to be created on the blank piece of canvas is extraordinary. It gives me power to evolve both in my art work as well as in my personal life.

My art work reveals its content and communicates with the viewer. It is essential, in my creative work and in my private life, to let go of control and entirely focus on the present. Try to concentrate on here and now and let my feelings take over.

My goal is to continue to grow and develop both as a person and as an artist. My ambition is to be able to present my work outside of Sweden. Art is my biggest passion and the joy I experience when I paint is breathtaking. 

I do hope that my art work will inspire and emotionally affect you as well.

Best regards,
Anette Lillhammar
