“Life” Acrylic on Canvas

AUTHENTICITY AND SERENITY

IN THE ART OF

ELISABETH DAUNELIUS | By Viviana Puello

D

aunelius strives for balance between form and color in each of her pieces.

She carefully considers the shapes and forms she includes in the composition and how they interact with each other. As a result, each painting is a dynamic entity, as the viewer can feel the movement of each brush stroke and the thoughtful consideration behind it—her commitment to craftsmanship and her creative vision results in stunningly unique pieces of art.

CAN YOU DESCRIBE YOUR ARTISTIC STYLE? Abstract, intuitive, naive, figurative WHAT IS YOUR CREATIVE PROCESS? Like the child, I can put what is most important to me in center and reduce what I do not find interesting. I can become obsessed with calculating angles and shapes without bothering about the interaction between them. I sometimes want to abstract until it remains only for the viewer to put their meaning into the picture.

I find it interesting to "ruin" an picture in order to challenge myself and see what became instead.

Lines, shapes, color, composition and texture are important elements, but the Process, the interaction between my hands, brain and all that am me - THAT is the creation. I am part of the creative process but perhaps the most fascinating of all is that the viewer becomes part of the creation.

Although my "studio" is only a few square meters, my technique improves and I become clearer to myself in what I find interesting and intruiging to paint.

I paint in acrylic, watercolor, markers, ink, coal.

I love to work in sand on canvas to make a between sculpture and picture. I also enjoy working in ink on a hard, not absorbent surface.

The technique is difficult, but it makes interesting effects. In that technique I have created my changelings, my crossovers, often a butterfly with a human twist.

The courage and the strength to dare and to get through is central. Not being labeled, being genuine.

When the subject is “wrong,” the substrate is “wrong,” the medium is “wrong,” and the technique is “wrong,” - what happens then? How far can I go without falling into my own prejudices about what is “right”? When do my own limitations apply? How do these express themselves, and what happens when I learn new things and get past them?

Inspired by the works of Kandinsky, Matisse, Diebenkorn, and other master artists, Elisabeth is able to create masterful compositions that emphasize simplicity and playfulness.

Studied at Lund University and Stockholm University, graduated in law at Uppsala University. Worked for the past 30-40 years in various managerial positions within universities as well as in municipal and private operations.

The interest in culture has been around since my childhood. My father was an initiated collector of mainly and exclusive clocks and glassware.Through him I was surrounded by history and beautiful things.

The urge to express myself with my hands has been a reality since the early childhood.

However, I considered not able to draw or paint and have therefore never tried.

Instead, I have enjoyed the art of others and tried to support those who can.

In connection with a managerial assignment, I spent a night in a hotel and as usual I was browsing for art online. An artist, Peter Sköld, Artistlab, Stockholm, who offered distance education, showed up. I sent him “Growth” Acrylic on Canvas

an email explaining that I never drawn, never painted, but wanted to. He thought we should give it a try. We started from the very beginning – “take a piece of paper, buy a brush and some nice colors”. And so I did.

I now have quite extensive studies, exhibitions abroad, to experience from.

WHAT MESSAGE DOES YOUR WORK TRANSMIT TO YOUR AUDIENCE? Dare.

Finding a solution and contributing to something that is difficult.

HAS ANY PART OF YOUR STORY INFLUENCED WHAT YOU DO NOW? Every bit of my story influences me. I am especially interested in the human nature - how we conduct ourselves, inwards and outwards. We go through so much during a lifetime. Many issues are difficult. But difficult matters has its own dynamic and is worth examining in every media.

Touch, feel.
