Collection: Longing for light
This is a series of portraits I painted in March 2022 when my longing for light was almost physical. It's a series of 3 paintings, all in the same small format, 18x24 cm.
The children portrayed are sitting on the rocks by the sea in a coastal town in western Sweden called Bovallstrand, my favorite place on earth.
It’s a magical place in the sense that it contains all my childhood summer memories.
I planned to study light in these pantings, the motives were secondary, but suddenly these beautiful summer memories appeard on my mini canvases. I guess I’m longing for hot summer days in Bovall…
