Artistic background
I am driven to create art by a keen desire to outwardly express my inner self and imagination through the use of colour and composition. Without doubt I have found that abstract painting is the form of artistic expression that gives the greatest freedom and inspiration.I was born in Oslo, Norway and for the first few years of my life I lived in Sandvika on the southern coast before coming to the UK in 1985. Then for much of my life I lived in Devon before settling with my family in Cornwall. I have always felt fortunate to live near the sea, and it has further inspired me to explore and create.
In my early life I had wanted to pursue art, but unfortunately this was not encouraged when I was considering further study, and I was pushed towards what was deemed a more academic direction. But the desire to paint never left me, and I am now fulfilled and happy to say that I have become self-taught as an artist over the last 4 years. I have also been greatly supported and encouraged by my wife Megan who herself is an artist, having studied fine art and print-making.
I do prefer to paint with oils due to its texture and richness of colour. I always do my best to select quality materials and paints, and I prefer to paint on deep edge canvases.
In particular I am interested in creating art that leaves a thoughtful impact and sense of feeling, simply by the use of evocative colour and imaginative, abstract composition. To date I have exhibited my artwork in local galleries, both in Devon and Cornwall.
I look forward to selling my artwork on Artgallery.co.uk as it is respected and well-established. I am confident that Artgallery.co.uk provides the ideal platform to reach those who would appreciate my artwork.
Thank you, regards Thomas
