| Biography | |
A brief presentation of Stina Backman -- the artist and her art.
She lives in a country where there is a lot of snow and rain but also beautiful summer days with mellow nights -- Sweden in the north of Europe. Her home town is Malmo, the third largest city in Sweden.
As an artist she has been working for some 20 years and before that she went through a profound education within the fields of sketch drawing, oil painting and sculpture.
Her art has been shown at exhibitions and art halls all around Sweden -- also in California, Denmark and Singapore. The exhibitions have been greatly appreciated in media and among visitors.
Stina Backman's pictures might be described as lyric and she wants to place a part of her soul in each and every painting. A Swedish newspaper wrote about her paintings saying that "they fit into the fourth dimension as a hovering between time and space ... thought flying a wondering capturing". Another newspaper described her work as "paintings of the light".
Her paintings are done in oil, acrylic, tempera and water colour -- and her graphic art is produced in giclee print technique.
"The paintings are warm greetings from my soul", Stina Backman says. |

| Style Impressionism |
|
| An art movement founded in France in the last third of the 19th century. Impressionist artists sought to break up light into its component colors and render its ephemeral play on various objects. The artist's vision was intensely centered on light and the ways it transforms the visible world. This style of painting is characterized by short brush strokes of bright colors used to recreate visual impressions of the subject and to capture the light, climate and atmosphere of the subject at a specific moment in time. The chosen colors represent light which is broken down into its spectrum components and recombined by the eyes into another color when viewed at a distance (an optical mixture). The term was first used in 1874 by a journalist ridiculing a landscape by Monet called Impression - Sunrise. |
