Christian Gundtoft.
I am a Danish visual artist, living in Germany, working mainly with motifs from nature that I encounter on my travels and in the landscapes where I spend time. My subjects often emerge from places that I explore on foot – most recently along the Camino de Santiago through France and Spain.
I work intuitively with colours, shapes and dynamics, trying to discover what makes a motif interesting and visually appealing. My work is not particularly conceptual; rather, the images emerge from the actual process of drawing and creating.
For me, my images are a kind of encounter between the landscape I see and the way I experience it. Colours and shapes are allowed to move away from reality if this makes the image feel more vivid.
I work primarily with color pencils and acrylic markers on paper.
