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.

Beautifully executed Ms Gunsan. It is the darker side of me that wishes to read the words, but unsure if it will bring joy or sorrow, I continue with the image alone. Yoshi
Tanialmeida
a portrait that is really universal, with excelent detail and toning, xpressive par xcelence!
SoulEatar
This is a very stirring Image - I can't quite find words for the emotional qualities - Unsettling Maybe - I am trying to grasp your intentions in putting a modern image on a rather historic parchment - Still it is a very effective piece of work -

I am stubbornely trying to read the words.. and translate.. well, now that I look better though, all is expressed by the way you coposed it all, and the thoughtfullness of her eyes... how intense :)
gunsan
The words in the letter have no meaning other that symbolic, I don't know myself what is written on that paper, but I know what is written in my imagination, and you know what is written in yours...
Curious

Swim in the ocean of emotion, but don't drown in it, ok?

You have done it again gun... you have created something that makes me think and I love that! There is something fatalistic in this one that is truly compelling to me. Fantastic work:D
SPIRESMEDIA
wonderful composition! ;o)
Synapse
Well, I can only imagine... and I don't think I'll be wide off the mark. The imagery tells so much :-)

You once more are transporting emotions with your image. I like this work of yours very much.

A suicide note, I would guess. Very disturbing and very wonderfully executed.

I see a purpose for the aged paper.For those who have known families who have suffered a suicide of a loved one,the risk of future suicides increases in immediate or extended family members due to various reasons,most prominently deep trauma,shock,abandonment,anger,loss,grief,dispair and fatalism and the taking on of a deep guilt(what could I have done/if only I.... etc).The effect of taking ones life ,which is despair at it's most destructive and most lonely leaves a legacy,a deep legacy for some,especially for a child.So beautifully presented by Gunsan in all it's depth and sadness.Exceptional !!!( only my impression of this piece of Art in my comments)
