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'm not usually a fan of fractal work but this image has a strange classic feel to it due to the fact it is in b&w. It almost reminds me of a silk rose. Nice work!!!

Very beutiful Gun, like a soft veil over all, rather a silky darkness, more than a deep Black. Guess I can relate very well to this image, seem always to be in a fog. Eccelent work on the fractal it is indeed a very nice piece. Thank you Eccelent** Lina

A poignant point. Shadows rely on light!

Dear Gun, this is one of those pictures of yours that has straight away a place in my heart. The black veil with a swallow - who have flied already to south - and the bright light in the core make a whole world of mind. Tender, gentle, filled with sorrow and hope - and so beautiful. You did it again :-D

Out of the darkness, into the light. Love the filmy look of the fractal...delicate. Looks like a finely executed charcoal drawing to me. Very unique concept and composition....you did it again!!!

And it's totally gorgeous in B&W! But B&W is always gorgeous! I love the delicate feel to this. The bird seems to be trapped in those veils...but there's light in the end...a beautiful and most sensitive dedi! :)

Wonderful!

Gunsan is a veritable dream corridor a hallway, seemingly endless with seemingly endless doorways on each side. Behind each something different.. The deepest parts of passion and emotions all being there so magnificently bright in enlightentment. all your paintings are like sides of the world waiting behind a door so realistically REALIZED, you can walk through the door into another side of the world. Doors from this world and into worlds unknown. ---------- The only thing i do not like about this is that it is not on my wall signed and framed in my own living room.

I hope your friend gets better and the hope can get there in time. An excellent portrayal of mood.

Very refreshing I luv seeing new ideas - The beauty of the lines is not hidden - often the color which I do luv but it can distract sometimes and here the flow is so pure !
fractalinda
It's so true..and what a beautiful and profound and inspiring visual interpretation of the concept. God bless your friend.

This is such an amazing work of art that I don't even know where to start. The overall design is so fluid... the color adds so much depth... emotion bleeds forth from this in so many ways, I love this Gun. You constantly prove yourself to be a woman of vision and talent, thank you for sharing with us once again.
