Behind the Art | Marika René

Welcome to my art blog. Here I share insights into my work as an artist, new paintings, exhibitions and glimpses of my creative process.

Follow me behind the scenes at Studio 928 and discover more about my Space Art and artistic life in Sweden and Gran Canaria.

This is the story of A:s happy space. A customer wishes a painting that makes her happy. The size is going to be 60x60 cm. This is the first time I make a square painting and it makes the placing of all the components in the painting a bit more challenging. That is exactly how I like it. The more challenge the more fun!!!...

It is a process to start a new project. At once, the idea comes to you. This time it started with a beautiful autumn bouquet from friends.

I am proud to be represented at the Gallery Hjertstedska Villan in Kungsbacka. A very inspirational and fun experience.

Things I like.

A potpuri of my art and other things I like. Mussels, lemons, sunset and the swedish Westcoast.

My test of the two watercolor papers, Baohong and Arches is finished. This video shows the result.
