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.

I cannot judge if you captured what you wanted to capture. I just can say that the way you built up colours and textures is IMO magnificent.

One of the most fascinating and aesthetic things I ever saw in an art exhibition was at an exhibition of graduate students. One of them had taken an entire series of close-up photographs of the sides of boats, where the water-line fell: at these water-lines the metal ones were rusting and the wooden ones were also corroding, and the paint was either running or peeling, sometimes both. The natural patterns of decay combined with the bright colours of the paint made for a beautiful series of abstracts, most commonly bringing to mind natural landscapes... this painting of yours reminds me very closely of that :-)
