BIO Hi, I am Gun Legler from Sweden. I live together with my cat Simon in a little village near Gothenburg On the outside I am old, but young inside :-) For so long I can remember, I have enjoyed expressing myself through any kind of art or craft. Until I was 40 I worked as a child psychologist and pre-school teacher, but after that I said goodbye to my profession and began studying at an art school. There I stayed for four years, mainly learning Graphic art (etching, dry needle and linoleum cut). I was a lousy oil painter, that medium did not fit me at all, watercolor I liked better. For many years I made collages of different kind, watercolor and textile. I grew up with a mother that sewed and a father that built violins, so I early fell in love with textures of many kinds. I have now abandoned making textile collages, but I realize that I work much in the same way with my computer art. I take a piece here and a piece there and try to make a whole of it. And I am madly in love with textures of all kinds, I can sit for hours just playing with different colors, textures and filters, making backgrounds just for fun (and for upcoming images). I work very much by intuition when I make an image, experimenting wildly with layers, textures, color and light. But the form is equally important, that�s what Graphic school taught me. I have seldom a clear inner image when I start creating, it is more a feeling I want to express. The process can be quite unconscious to me for a long time. The image gradually takes form, and become clearer to me. What I want with my images is to reach the feelings of the viewers, to make them look into their own inner being and respond in any way, regardless of which feeling is evoked.

Your thoughts are beautifully expressed in your image. It makes me think of a kaleidoscope because of the variety of colors and shapes appearing before our eyes and making us go "Ahhh!". That is a filter that shows nothing but beauty in all its variety, just like everyone and everything around us. Thank you for your magnificent image and thoughts, Gun.
mansco
Wonderful interpretation and ideas. This is a smashing picture ;O)

The painting expresses so well some of the ponderings you wrote. Leaves me asking myself which filters do I choose to look through. Your written thoughts are as provoking as your art. Playing off your "filter" theme, I love the "Clarity" that can come in the early hours of a day.

Nice work!

Questions for the ages, interesting but unanswerable. Topics for a conversation over a bottle of wine, in front of a fire, surrounded by friends. A lovely image. Very evocative as well. It too would invite a conversation or two. Thanks for sharing. BJ

I like the philosophy! Most intriguing thoughts.. I also love the textures and different aspects of the way your works are presented very much! This is no exception! Excellent!

Wonderfull work... :-)

Emma has a very wistful look here which fits the theme well: reality is perception and attitude makes all the difference. Your "ponderings" are most welcome hugs :-)
