About Per Anders

https://youtu.be/_Lqlpm9iXMw - New 3 min. video on youtube - showing new paintings. Please copy/paste the link above. 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, in a cooperation with a book printing company (Toptryk) in Denmark. Worked earlier in Denmark as a dental surgeon (DDS) - (educated at University of Aarhus DK and University of Iowa,USA) - but ten years ago I skipped the dentistry to be able to concentrate my effort on the paintings. I am living and working in Denmark and in Provence (France). Founder and member of "Symbiose - artists - group". Have been working with artists like Alexander Thieme, Peter Spens, Peter Reichet, Morten Lassen, Jes Mogensen, Otto Lawaetz, J.J.Thorsen, Steffen Lûttge and a lot of other well known artists. I try to stay focused on the bright side of life in my paintings - not in a naive, always-happy-sorrowless way, but in a chosen opposition to the fact that almost all other medias are "digging" so heavily in the dark shadow of everything! I, however, feel responsible for leaving some kind of hope and optimism in my artwork - and in everything I do! I believe that drawing skills are the foundation of a proper painting, as you then have the advantage, if you paint expressive, rough, abstract paintings (like I try to do), that you actually know, what you are abstracting from!
