Painting and Willow Art by Berit Ida

Views

Many people have a dream job in childhood that they want to take up later. I am very fortunate to be able to practise this profession, a profession that fascinated me already in my childhood.

I find a large part of my motifs in nature; wonders of creation that I marvel at, so that many others wonder about them.

In this respect, I’m already on the paths of Claude Monet, who once said:

“Maybe it was thanks to the flowers that I became a painter.”

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

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

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

Seeing was and is a key to the effect of art and from there a key to other areas of life. Seeing the way in which seeing develops in art is an opportunity to develop perception.
