Per Anders

“In my paintings, I try to focus on the bright side of life - not in a naïve, always happy, unconcerned kinda way, but in deliberate opposition to the fact that most media tend to focus on the misery and gloominess of it all.
To me, it’s important to put some kind of hope and optimism into my artwork, as well as into everything else I do. 

I am a danish artist painting oil/acrylic paintings on canvas and art paper + watercolors. 
Occasionally I publish limited edition art prints and similar art related publications as posters and cards.

I am living and working in Denmark and in Provence (France). 

“When I work, I’m always searching for the lyric, or even bright facets of life - and thereby, I am hoping to leave some kind of optimism behind. 
Colors are good for this purpose, yellow above all. I mean, yellow is the color of the sun; the prerequisite of any talk of color in any connection. 
Every home should have a 'yellow painting' as a backup for the sun on a cloudy day.”

I have a degree in dental surgery (DDS)
Have been studying dentistry at University of Aarhus, DK and University of Iowa Cty, USA. Have been working as both a dentist and an artist for quite a few years but about 15 years ago it was possible for me to concentrate my energi in 'the world of art' as a professional artist.
