About Per Anders

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, 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 now I work as a full time artist. 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 know what you are actually abstracting from!
