Lykke

I discovered Lykke on Pinterest recently and I wanted to share her amazing portrait paintings here. I am jealous of artists who can paint portraits since I am not very good at this. :) p.s. I love Pinterest! You can find out so many amazing things there. 

Lykke Steenbach Josephsen

African Queen

Over the last decade Lykke has established herself as one of the most talented portrait painters on the Danish art scene.

 Her portraits are striking, instinctive and driven by a deep understanding of the persons that she portrays, resulting in extraordinary, strong stories told in a beautiful visual language.
 In her play with the personality, the portrait persons often get animal characteristics.

The Room

Again long time, no new post on my blog. But working and living in this city makes me tired all the time. No time for art. I made this drawing with stabilo pens based on a photo of a cozy room. It’s an interpretation of the photograph. I think Deniz found it on the web and sent it to me. I finished the drawing in two weeks in February by working on it max. half an hour per day, lazy me :)) I don’t remember the exact date. I didn’t draw the little painting inside the photo, I just printed, cut it and stuck it on my drawing :D I really enjoyed making swirls and various patterns. I think I should do stuff like this more often..
