So last month I think it was, some of you may recall my interesting avatar of a lady getting what seems to be an oral exam. I never knew of it's origin. Well I did some searching and apparently it was created by Karl Persson.
"My intellect doesn’t come into play when I am channeling something subconsciously. There is plenty of time for interpretation after a painting is finished. Whenever I look at my finished paintings it is like analysing a dream – deciphering my personal symbolic language. Although there is obviously some calculated thought behind things like compositional aesthetics, I still try to keep these decisions relatively instinctive. I find this approach far more fulfilling than when I have injected some preconceived concept into an image, which has often consequently become either stale or too obvious."
