Painting and Willow Art by Berit Ida

Views

Many people have a dream job as a child that they want to take up later. I am very fortunate to be able to practise my dream job – artist -, a profession that has fascinated me since my childhood.

I find a large part of my designs in nature; wonders of creation that I marvel at.

In this respect, I follow the same paths as Claude Monet, who once said:

“MAYBE IT WAS THANKS TO THE FLOWERS THAT I BECAME A PAINTER.”

This is how I think about realistic painting in the first place. I would like to show with my pictures how beautiful the creation is, how unique and well thought-out in every little detail.

I take the time to see this; to see this myself and to make it visible to others.

I can’t separate the object I see from me, the subject, because I first bring the object to appear – and in this sense the real creation of the image takes place.

Seeing was and is a key to the effect of art. Realising the way in which seeing develops in art is an opportunity to develop perception.
