Painted 2001. Windmill on the island land, Sweden.
I live in Malm, the third largest city in Sweden. I am self-taught and have been painting since 1995. I am always searching for motifs for my painting. The result depends on the motif - if the picture is of poor quality, so will the result of the painting be as well. I have no art education what so ever and when I paint I find out by experience how I must do.I am perhaps a bit single-tracked regarding the art I like myself. I prefer art where I can see what it is, i.e. art within the genre realism. I do not like such art where it is up to me as a beholder to interpret. Some critics have said "what you do is trying to copy photos, one can just as well magnify the photo and put it on the wall instead". Well, they are right. I will probably never reach that far, but if the painting in the end looks almost the same as the photo, then, in my eyes, I have succeeded. That is the challenge for me. If you are interested in buying a painting from me, please send me a mail at info@artbywinberg.comPlease not that the prices stated here could be changes a little bit due to the rate of the US dollar. Transport cost is not included in the prices stated.I hope you enjoy my work!/Peter
