About The Artwork
Around 2012 - 2013 I decided to start painting with my 3rd medium of my career (previous were watercolour & acrylic). Being untrained I had no idea how to use oils, mix them or apply them so initially I attempted to use them as my previous acrylics but they just didn't work for me or feel right. So I abandoned them for several months. During this time I underwent an surgical operation, I knew I would have a fair bit of time convalescing and so I had my oil paints on standby to fill the time. I remember still being in considerable pain some time after and so I decided to get my oil paints out and have another stab at using them as a way to distract myself from the pain. I had an old painting knife which I'd never used and dragged it out of the cupboard and started slicing thru the thick layers of oil paint I had squirted onto my palette. Just the process in itself felt good, smearing the colour across my white palette watching how the texture changed with the pressure applied. If just felt natural after a few goes to use the knife at long last and forget my trusty paint brushes, so I did. I applied the oil way too thick (and I knew it) but didn't care because I was enjoying the process of painting more than anything else. I just let the knife do all the work and go where I felt it needed to. Blending the colours was a dream, everything melted beautifully together and what pleased me even more was the fact I could add texture the knife strokes. I just went on automatic not having to think anything thru......the next thing I know I have this image before me, like magic. Afterwards it didn't even feel like I had painted it. Anyway, I guess you could call this expressionist in style, I'm not actually sure myself because I just paint the things but I've read and seen other work which matches that description so I'll go with that. It really was created from pain and passion but the end result I think is rather beautiful. I hope you enjoy the image.

Viktor Tilson - Artist Born: 1964 Yateley, Hampshire, England. I have been painting all my life and started selling work in the mid 1990's whilst working an office job. Yearly solo exhibitions were held around the UK and London. In 2000 (launched in London) I became one of the first British artists to showcase my work online with a dedicated web site. I am untrained and classified as an "Outsider Artist" (basically called as such because I didn't attend art college or studied at university) My education back in the 1980's didn't include any history of art and, therefore, despite painting abstract from an early age, I had no way to classify what I was creating until well into my twenties. Having never visited art museums or anything like that I think this added tremendously to me finding my own style. The internet didn't exist when I started out! Fast forward to 2010 and I finally decided to turn professional as sales of my work continued to grow. I developed a unique style of painting (Amalgamation) which combines amazing colour within what looks like a random design. I refined this technique over several years and these works have proved to be my most popular, propelling my career to a new level. I rarely exhibit work these days, to be honest I spent most of my twenties and thirties hawking my work around galleries in New York, Milan and London in my spare time whilst juggling a full time office job. I reached the conclusion I am an outsider in every sense and I'm OK with that now. I typically use the same palette of colours for most work, and this makes my paintings easily recognisable. In my more graphic designs you will note certain shapes and angles appear repeatedly. This is not intentional, it just happens that way. Today I am very fortunate to have a loyal following by collectors of my work in the UK and overseas. Thank you for your time, and I hope you have enjoyed seeing my work. Vik
