" I heard these words from Björn Natthiko Lindeblad for the first time and they stuck with me. I thought they were so wise and something I try to live by. I choose to cherish my gift for creation and creativity and share it with me. This is one of few self-portraits that I made (and show). It took me many many months to complete and I was close to giving up, but during a painting meeting I held when I started with a joint meditation exercise and then we painted together for an hour so it came loose . Sometimes something else is required for a work to be finished, to try a different way or to let go of the idea that it needs to become something. Creativity is a gift, a mystery and a favor to experience." - Karin Holmström about the work
Karin Holmström's figurative abstract painting, layer upon layer paintings with several dimensions are created. Often her experiences from real life are reflected, where elegant colors, shapes and light are important. Her pictures open up in a pleasant way for the viewers to search for the answers within themselves.
