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.

Powerful symbolism yet there is something soft & gentle in the overall tone of this.

If you look the face, and the eyes, you see how the human fears and at the same time is expecting the fire power and sufference for getting throught and being purified. To me there's all the metaphora of living (and especially current living) there: the heavy responsibility, and the acceptance of it for how hard it can be.For the sake of soul, and the health of body&mind after it. You nailed it down so majestically. Once again.:)

Commenting after Meli is always difficult - but I try. I can add that this image leaves me thinking - about everything that wasn't thought but should have been thought. This comes near to my feelings, I miss the right words (as always)...

The flames dance within her, all consuming, cleansing her of past wrongs. Until, one day, they burn-her-out and all that is left is the soft cry of a sparrow as it takes flight into the heavens. Gun, you are blessed with the perfect blend of talent and imagination, thank you for sharing your gift.
