An Interview with Clara Markstedt.

Who and from where are you?

My name is Clara Markstedt. I am 27 years old and come from Visby, Sweden.  

How you got into this?

I have always been fascinated with eyes and faces and started drawing portraits when I was 9 years old. I started painting portraits during high school in Texas, and have continued since then. Now I have my own business and have had several exhibitions.

What is your driving force?

I have a busy life as a full time business student and professional soccer player. Painting is my soul therapy and gives me great joy and relaxation. To be able to capture an emotion in someone’s eyes in a painting is so rewarding to me.

What kind of work you do and why?

I mostly paint large scale half abstract portraits. For me the most important thing is that the eyes come through like I want them to. If the eyes have life, then the rest can be more or less abstract. I like painting with big brushes or painting knives and I use a lot of colors. I can be very detailed but find it more interesting and challenging to paint abstract and leave out details for the viewer to fill in. I started painting with acrylics but now I only paint with oil colors. You need patience with oils but I love the texture and luster, which makes it worth the time it takes to finish a painting. I want my paintings to be the exclamation mark on the wall.
