Collection Contemplation

The "Contemplation" collection, created exclusively for TAS – The Artist Survives, is a series of paintings inspired by my summer holidays—or rather, by what I observed during them.

How few are the moments when we truly pause to observe things? When we take the time to wait for a shooting star? Yet it is a phenomenon far more special than anything we can find on Instagram.

What kind of promises can we exchange at sunset while walking through a coastal pine forest?

How magical is the view of an island from a boat? Growing larger and larger as we draw near? And the rippling of the waves? You always feel like an adventurer.

 

 

Going in search of the Northern Lights is an adventure; managing to find them is a milestone—so, let us celebrate!

Finally, I was moved by the gentleness of a lifeguard who, at the end of his workday (a day I imagine was much like many others), paused before climbing down from his tower to watch the sunset over the sea. He must have seen many sunsets, yet no two are ever the same. Who knows how many he has collected over time.

Still, he reminds us that all it takes is a minute, or even a second, to stop, look around, and give meaning to our days—giving us something worth remembering them by.

The collection is available as fine art print, in a limited edition of 40 copies per drawing, at The artist survives website:
