Award-winning Artist Richard Solstjärna based in Berlin born in Sweden.

"In my paintings the Energy and Forces which are immanent in Nature are visualized.

Forces at work in maximum self-sufficiency. Primary, undiluted, full of tension. Never at ease always in the moment. A pulse in rhythm and rhyme. Emerging from a Void, an emptiness and silent space which is the source of its origin.”

Title: A World On Fire 001 Technique: Acrylic on paper Size: 70x150cm Object Frame(metal, black) Year: 2021

I started off as a musician in my teens. I began drawing when I was living in Berlin during 1991-1994. A friend of mine used to draw to techno music before heading for the clubs. One day I joined in. Back in Sweden it was like an inner force that needed to be expressed and come forth. Different from writing and playing music but at the same time a kind of similarity and belonging to creativity. To create in whatever form and expression. It comes naturally for me.

Title: Black and White 001 Technique: Acrylic on paper Size: 64x50cm Object Frame(wood, black) size: 70x56cm Year: 2020

Life itself is my biggest inspiration. And my imagination is my dearest friend.

Combining these two I am drawing from a source of infinity. New worlds come to life as soon as I start painting.

When painting I always start with a canvas or paper. Then suddenly it’s always paint on the floor. I paint technique I sometimes finish off

cup of cappuccino. Sitting in front of a blank like pressing a button. And the force is on. I with a rapid speed and pace. Depending on the the painting, the last strokes, on a wall.

My style came naturally when I started drawing to Techno music. Since then, I have of course refined it. Practice, practice, practice. In the beginning I was practicing tempo and speed. To draw or paint something very fast. I have thrown away a lot of paintings. All for the purpose of refining and develop the style but also to be able to draw or paint something in an instant.
