ccarinaehlers – Carina Ehlers

I am a versatile person. Now I'm quite firmly established within the artistic field, which has attracted me since childhood (although for a while it had to lie fallow). Art, in many different shapes, has got a deeper significance for me and this deeper significance involves also, as many people say, the more unknown ground. So to speak, my view of the world around, or externally, need not always be the real and true reality. I believe that there is something more beyond that visible for the eye.
To sum up I am an artistic view finder within spirituality but don’t belong to any church or religious association.
In addition to my spiritual interest I also find power and inspiration within the calm silence of meditation and yoga, the nature and other things.
I have been studying at an art school – Konstindustriskolan – in the 70's. During a period I really enjoyed sculpture and ceramics. Nowadays I only do paintings and use techniques like oil, aquarelles and acrylic.
I have also been studying and working with revision and bookkeeping, a hard-working period with small children and personal difficulties. A car accident in the year 2000 opened my eyes and thus gave me a new opportunity to reconnect to myself and find back the thread I’d lost for a while.
In future paintings I will most likely convey compositions with spiritual, philosophic and perhaps a bit scientific messages.
