Näckrosdamm XIII

Colorist Naivist Expressionist Impressionist Swedish artist located outside of Stockholm. Anneli is autodidact and studied Art History and History at Stockholm University. Anneli’s art and characteristic style is playful and figurative with a bold and bright palette, almost as if colors play a more significant part than the motif itself. “in my artistry I am a storyteller working with time and timelessness. I want the viewer to feel connected with your inner self, and I try to reach the viewer through color, serenity and light and humorous stories, for example my series “Catnap”, where the birds dominate the space in a room whilst the cat is napping. And as soon as the cat awakens the scene disappears. I want to capture places, memories, dreams, motives, scenes, environments, settings and figures that we can perceive as timeless. The light is my focus. I am an observant bystander who want to bridge, and even wipe out the line between past and present, and place my paintings in a timeless space. I also consider myself as a conservator. I capture images and make them eternal. Paint gardens, landscapes, the Swedish wilderness, memories from wonderful places such as Tuscany, Provence, Hawaii and Latin America, cats, birds and serene landscapes. Bright colors. I have painted several series: Cats and wild animals and birds Lavender Cats in cities Parks Hawaii My garden Women Flowerpots Memories Swedish wilderness I want the viewer to feel happiness, maybe smile a little, when looking at my paintings.
