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.

I like the colours in this Gun; I wonder how it would be without the eyes, completely faceless? :0 )
gunsan
If you take a few steps back Jeff, you'll see that she is not faceless, only diffuse.

...I'm so late here:-) I have been visited here at least 4 times:-D But sometimes I have to wait for my the words... I want to say something about the words and the letters; about how calm the picture is although there is so much voices...The eyes find their way to the viewer - that makes sense in that flood of words... The letters are classical and beautiful (I'm tired of all those amazing "personal" fonts;-) So I really love that picture! Colors make me feel so good:-) hugs
Synapse
God yeah, I agree with Cassie... know about that one. No one can hold us back like ourselves. As for the image, I love it! The warm and very appealing use of colour, the chaotic and yet disciplined overlaying of text... busy but with a feeling of compassion to me.
Varian
To me it seems she is being bombarded from outside, not inside, so this makes me think of the steady flow of spam and advertisements that are constantly telling us to be dissatisfied with who we are, what we are, what we have, how we behave, etc., etc. Like her expression shows, I am weary of it all, too! Very nicely done, love that hair and the eyes.

i think of the young people, like this woman, like my daughter fixing to go into college... so many choices, so many path... it can be most stressful on them... for us, the voices have quieted down :] just beautiful gun, luv those bright colors
Anonova
neat! I really like the "old" feel to the background, and the overall sepia tone. Well done!
Tanialmeida
something strikes me to see her surrounded by voices without being able to speack, feels like an imprisionment of some sort, very impressive Gun!!!
estevez
