About The Artwork
Constructed in the mid-18th century, the German Church, known as "Tyska Kyrkan" in Swedish, is a prime example of North German Baroque architecture. Its ornate facade and intricate detailing reflect the artistic styles of the era, showcasing the meticulous craftsmanship that was characteristic of the time. The church was originally established to cater to the German-speaking community in Gothenburg, which had grown significantly due to trade and maritime connections between the two countries. Over the years, the church has played an integral role in maintaining ties between the Swedish and German communities. The church's interior is equally captivating, with its elegant pews, stained glass windows, and an awe-inspiring altar. The serene atmosphere within the church walls offers a space for reflection and contemplation, creating a haven of tranquility amidst the bustling city. Regular church services, concerts, and cultural events take place here, reinforcing the bond between the past and the present. The German Church is not merely a religious institution; it has evolved into a cultural hub that celebrates the history and contributions of both nations. Adjacent to the German Church lies the picturesque Stora Hamnkanalen, a canal that weaves through the heart of Gothenburg. Dating back to the 17th century, Stora Hamnkanalen was originally designed as a waterway to facilitate trade and transportation. Today, it stands as a living testament to Gothenburg's maritime heritage and urban planning prowess. Flanked by cobblestone streets and lined with charming buildings, Stora Hamnkanalen exudes a unique blend of historical charm and modern vibrancy. Visitors can stroll along its banks, enjoying the picturesque scenery and taking in the vibrant atmosphere of the city. The canal's waters shimmer under the Nordic sunlight, and the reflection of colorful facades creates a painterly scene that is beloved by both locals and tourists.

Sweden
I am a professional artist represented by three galleries in Sweden and one of the juried watercolor artists representing Nordic Countries at Fabriano In Acquarello, the biggest International Watercolor Exhibition in the world. I regularly exhibit my artwork at solo and group exhibitions. I live on the West coast of Sweden in Gothenburg, the city often called the gateway to Scandinavia. It is often said that a good watercolor requires a marked contrast between light and dark, warm and cold colors, soft and sharp lines, and that's exactly what the cities of the world offer. A tram in the mist of a rainy morning, contrasts of a sunny day, a skyscraper that blocks the view, a river shrouded in mist, long shadows of people at dusk, a line of cars at the red traffic light, calm afternoons in the suburbs - the list of themes seems endless. I use all different kinds of techniques, from pencil and charcoal to acrylic paints and oil although I prefer watercolor because it does not always do what the paintbrush and the painter want, but chooses its own path on the paper and tells the story which no one could have envisaged. My studio is located in the old part of the city of Gothenburg where I work and share the destiny of many artists from all over world: loneliness and insecurity but at the same time happiness and a feeling of deep contentment with the result when I make the final brush stroke and say to myself: "This is it." I will be more than happy to share with you the world seen through my eyes. Best regards Emin Dalibor Eminefendic
