I studied at the Art Academy in Hamburg, Germany. I’ve always loved art, music and, dance. When I capture joyful and moving moments of life in my pictures I mix the shining colors of my art according to these moments.

My art is based on good will and harmony. The concern about disharmony and inhumanity in the world is a source of constant inspiration in my work. The information I receive from mythology, the Bible and everyday reality become the spiritual instruments in my mind, the material for mental observation. MY rhythmical fantasies and discoveries […]

Every time when I start to create a painting, I already have a concrete idea in my mind. What is going to happen? I am not making the painting, the painting is creating me! The result is – without surprise – definitely different. All the paintings, which were done this way, became my favorites. It […]

In Conversation: Leah Oates talks to Carol Salmanson
Leah Oates: How did you become an artist and what is your family background? Carol Salmanson: I come from a family with a humble background and ambitious parents, who had no interest in the arts.

My watercolor paintings are a combination of floating pigments and strict, more solid elements. The light atmosphere this creates exposes my mindset of the changing light in the landscape of the Lofoten Islands in Norway, where I was born and grew up. In wintertime there is almost no daylight, But the light that is left […]
Simon Hantai at Paul Kasmin
Paul Kasmin Gallery presents never before seen works by Hungarian-born artist Simon Hantai. Hantai’s work can be distinguished by his signature technique “pillage,” or folded, tied, and dyed un-stretched canvas. His work interplays between positive and negative space, resulting in both geometric and botanical patterns. A massive figure in Europe, his work deserves more recognition […]
