Anders Anderson, Sweden

Throughout my upbringing, there have been pencils, brushes, paint, paper and artist materials around me. 

My mother was a glass designer so there was no doubt that I could draw as much as I wanted at an early age. In parallel with technical education and later in working life, I have always had sketching as a watering hole. 

Over the years, it has become everything from motif-painted trucks to fashion ties, advertisements and logos. 

But somehow watercolor has always fascinated me.
This medium is considered difficult to control and I decided to explore the mysterious essence of watercolor. 

I looked for the artists I thought were the best in the world and went to them to learn. I got a real kick and have forever stuck to the fantastic peculiarities of watercolor. 

For every painting I do, I still learn something new. Love it!

Stanislaw Zoladz, Sweden

Εικόνα
Stanislaw Zoladz, born in Poland in 1952, moved to Sweden after completing his art education at the Art Academy in Krakow in 1978. Since then he has been active as a full-time artist in Sweden.  He’s participating in many international exhibitions over the world. He has been recognised as “master of watercolours “ after years of painting and many prizes in international competitions.  Stanislaw’s words about his art:  "Nature has always been my source of inspiration, it dominates my works. In the summer I paint in the archipelago. I wait for the sun's reflections on wet rocks, catch shadows, reflections in water and paint stones under the water's surface.   My paintings do not provoke, they lack a direct message, they do not depict the present, but they should make the viewer stop and reflect. I only paint when I myself experience something that touches me and that is the feeling I want to pass on to the viewer"
