Billedkunstner Karin Faaborg
At male er at leve, sådan har jeg haft det i mange år. Det at hoppe ind
i et billede og blive ét med det, er en fantastisk oplevelse, som jeg
håber, at kunne give videre til den, der modtager billedet.
Når jeg maler, arbejder jeg helt spontant. Jeg begynder med en enkelt
farve, et enkelt lag, med spatel eller pensel, altid olie på lærred,
tyndt eller tykt pastost lag på lag. Andre gange går jeg den modsatte
vej, hvor jeg tager lag af med terpentinklud eller ridser direkte med
spatel. På den måde opstår billeder.
Inspirationen henter jeg fra mine nærmeste omgivelser, fra rejser i
virkeligheden og rejser ind i drømmeverdenen. Østen optager stadig en
del af min billedverden, bl.a. fordi jeg har boet der og derfor slået
nogle rødder, så jeg med jævne mellemrum må tilbage dertil. Jeg
eksperimenterer i udtryksform fra det figurative til det helt abstrakte.
I dag er abstraktionen dominerende, men oftest med tydeligt afsæt i
virkeligheden.
The universe of my paintings
All my paintings are impressions from now and then, the West and the
East, reality and imagination, all fixed into a firm and dissolved form
at the same time. I like to express myself spontaneously with a brush or
a filling knife, layers upon layers. The motives are almost abstract,
but the central idea is always rooted in reality. Sometimes, it is a
landscape, a jar, some figures, always a mixture of reality and dream.
My inspiration comes from my nearest surroundings and also from my
journeys, especially to Thailand, where I keep returning to again and
again.
In my paintings, it is important for me to express strength and
sensuality as well as a feeling of something very near and very far at
the same time. The figures disappear into their own world, but are held
close to the observer by the texture of the painting. When I look at my
own paintings, I always discover new things, it is like going on an
expedition.
I wish you a nice journey into my world of paintings, for the paintings
express more than words.
Best
regards
