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. |
