Annette Falk Lund

I was born in 1964 in the country formerly known as the GDR.

I’m a self-taught painter and have passionately developed my professional creative work since 2005.

Most of my work consists of oil and gouache painting on coarse canvas and limestone paper. I’m obsessed with narratorial and mystical, inviting motives and figures, but I also dwell in abstractions, that derive their attraction from the interplay between lines and colors.

Drawings, both as external sketches and integral elements, serve as a central set of tools, that I use to elaborate on the theme of each painting.

To work with narratorial motifs is a kind of soliloquy (“Selbstgespräch”) for me. The improvisational character of my method is perhaps best described like this:

- a brush dipping into a glass of water
- an oilstick losing its way on the vast canvas
- gouache dripping from my hand, meeting its fate
- constant agitation. exploratory. with no destination in my mind.

The result is an allegory over humanity and nature, or humans in nature.
