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.
Proud to be featured on Check it out! My other galleries. http://gun-legler.artistwebsites.com/
I am Gun's daughter Lena (zitalena@gmail.com). I am so, so sorry to tell you all that mom passed Tuesday morning, Feb 8 2022, Swedish time. No panic, no pain, no regrets. So peaceful. I tried to get a message about this on my moms latest picture, but now I can't find it. But now I have her computer and can log in. Please email me if you want. Thanks to all. Mom really loved the community!! Her gallery will live on. I have changed the address to mine, because me and my brother really would LOVE to keep her gallery open. Love to all.

EXCELLENT GRAPHIC

This feels like deep inner-space to me but it's true that the outer is just a reflection... Very beautiful work with so much meaning as usual :)

Beautiful image with gorgeous colors. As to your question, I wish I could say they are the same, however, one look at the world around us tells me that the outer is not always the same as the inner space in general. On a personal level, it is up to each individual to bring the two into harmony in their own lives, often a lifelong project.

At first the colors grab hold of my eyes, the wonderour colors and how they move about the spaces. Then the title and your comments. Yes, there is a big difference in spaces inside and outside. The most obvious is how nice and warm it is in our inside space, and how bitter cold it is outside. Sometimes it's like that in our souls, also, warm inside, bitter cold outside .. as Suzanne said, it's up to us to find the balance ..

Beautifully created with a great feel to it.

you filled this with much inner confluence, inner noise (noise of the heart & soul), scratches across the surface, colliding shapes & hues, a whole ocean-ful of emotional crashings & expressions, and you turned Koosie's window into a place of real 'working-through'. A very intense metamorphosis, and very inward too. Intense work.
