*This blog is primarily about art. I want to share my thoughts about art, exhibitions I visit, painters I admire and all other kinds of stuff related to art. But first and foremost I want to share my own creations and the "behind-the-scenes" process from idea to finished product. You watch my paintings for a few seconds, but I work with them for hours, days and months. That is what I want to show.
*Second, you'll see glimpses of other parts of my life. "You cannot separate the art from the artist" (who said that?). "I don't believe in art, I believe in artists" (Duchamp). Yep, I believe that by sharing things about me you'll be able to appreciate the art and understand my point of view at an additional dimension.
*It is actually the second point which is the hardest part. What and how much should I share about my personal life with you? For example, I am working out more or less five times a week (I run and lift weights basically). As you can see it is a big part of my life even though I have given it little credit here. The main reason for not bringing it up more is because I don't want to loose focus from "art forum" to "fitness blog". Also, my goal with working out is more about staying healthy and finding a balance in life, it is not about becoming shredded as fuck or to win a bikini competition. Another thing, I am not a very inventive chef, but since people are interested in seeing what others eat I'll post some more photos of that too. Further, I've shared some vacation photos with you before and I will definitely keep doing that.
What I will not do is to start publishing photos of my friends and family (with exemption of the animals). I have posted a couple of photos with other people in it but I've always cleared it with them in beforehand and Ill continue with that policy. I don't want anyone to end up on the internet without their permission.
If you are interested in knowing something about me, write a comment or email to info@elinerikson.com and I might bring it up here :)
