Holding on to faith Drawing

Søren Thielemann (Sorenski) is a Danish-born artist living in California. With a background in advertising and graphic design, Søren's art is created around conceptual ideas with layers of messages and symbolism, and is frequently influenced by current social and political affairs. His art is often referred to as “doodles” because of its fun whimsical styles and shapes, inspired by his childhood passion for cartoons. It’s also a rebellious contrast to the linear and mathematical shapes you find in typography and graphic design, yet there’s a desire to balance the subject on the canvas and achieve some symmetry. Typical themes in his art are social injustice, corporate greed, and church (the cross), due to his distrust of organized religion. Soren works in ink, oil, acrylic, and gouache on a variety of surfaces, including murals.
