Eric presents "Skaparen | The Creator"
Here, the artist Bengt Lindström really lives out his love for art and color. His interest in the inherent power of colors, the pasty abstract improvising with strong colors and the distorted face has a great impact. An eternal exploration of life's various mysteries and the unknown adventures. Each new attempt with the brush creates a flow that is conveyed through the canvas in a constant movement, just like life in general. When we look at the work, we can see that the painting possesses an unusual fine sensitivity in its directness with harmonious composition of both face and color combination. There is an inner calm in the contemplation of the painting. Where the artist is one with his inner self; resulted in this work in a magnificent self-portrait.
