The Lifter

Concept

Thor Rafnsson, painter: Every painting is often something new, both technically and spiritually. I can change my style of painting often to suit what I want to express, and sometimes it is even a struggle which forces me to explore new avenues, so that I can reach the visual language I want to express.
The colors are most often light and I endeavor after concord and balance. Through the pictures I also want to try express mankind's internal spiritual room, where the creation of the images occur.
The colors are most often light and I endeavor after concord and balance.
Most often, I find my subject to through the people I meet in my everyday life, It can also be the way one felt at that moment, a feeling you would like to capture or a space to explore.
Some encounters spur my imagination and I get the urge to put what I feel on canvas.
I think in every painting an artist puts out, has some of him or her in it.
It can be the way one felt at that moment, a feeling one would like to capture or a space to explore.
My goal is to inspire those who see my work to look more carefully at the world around them.
