Lis Engel contemporary artist
I am autodidact in painting working mainly with the abstract and the fantastic. These two ways are for me a continuum where I move in-between realities of the figurative, the symbolic, the poetic and the abstract searching ways to communicate experiences of the sublime.
I have studied somatic and classical drawing and painting techniques, art history and performance art at the University of Copenhagen and have participated in art workshops in Seattle, New York and London. I am educated cand.scient, phd from the University of Copenhagen where I have been teaching and researching in performance and body-mind arts and sciences with a special interest for modern phenomenology.
I was introduced to oil painting at 12 and here I got my first deep experience of the power of pure color. I can still remember the intense, transformative feeling that hit me when I opened the beautiful artistic oil colors – and this intense interest in color has never left me –It is still an intens interest of mine. I have continued to study many theories and techniques of color, both as an artist and as a researcher, where I have studies color meditation as energy transforming techniques. Color and color experience may change the feeling of lived body, lived space and lived meaning.
My inspiration comes from many sources : from nature, where especially place, sound, light and movement is my focus. Beside place I am also very much inspired from art, music, poetry and litterature. I see life and art as intertwined opening into deep experiences of transformative energies. My art is always about sharing experiences of significance.
“I see art as a way of life – interweaving place, light, sound, movement as a dance with action, faith, hope and love. I see this as intense transformational practices of life – and art.”(lis engel, contemporary artist)
