KIRSTEN STUBBEN

Kirsten Stubben fortæller: På mine gåture åbner jeg for alle mine sanser, fornemmer former, farver og kraften i naturen. Jeg tager mange fotos undervejs, og nogle inspirerer som oplæg til et nyt maleri. Former og farver dukker op undervejs – billedet får sin egen historie - og tiden forsvinder for mig, når jeg arbejder foran lærredet. Jeg er glad for klare farver og udtrykker deres fælles samspil i en stærk harmoni i billedet – et farverigt univers.

Jeg arbejder med forskellige serier, f.eks. ”Blue trees”, ”The Nordic way” (inspiration fra Føærøerne og Island), ”Landskaber”, Krukkerier - og senest: ”Hvor mennesker var…” En skildring af forladte interiører.

Jeg prøver stadig nye veje for at finde egnede teknikker og udtryk, men kan kendes på udtrykket og farvekraften i billedet. Alt i alt et udtryk for den glæde, jeg finder i at arbejde med et maleri/billede, hvor intet er givet på forhånd, men alt er i spil.

Kirsten Stubben shares: During my walks, I open myself to all my senses, absorbing the shapes, colours, and energy of nature. I take many photographs along the way, and some of them become inspiration and starting points for new paintings. Forms and colours emerge as I work—the image develops its own story—and time disappears when I am standing in front of the canvas.

I am drawn to vivid colours and express their interaction through a strong harmony within the image—a colourful universe. I work in different series, including “Blue Trees”, “The Nordic Way” (inspired by the Faroe Islands and Iceland), “Landscapes”, “Krukkerier”, and most recently “Where People Were…”, a depiction of abandoned interiors.

I continue to explore new paths in search of suitable techniques and expressions, but my work can be recognised by its distinctive visual language and the intensity of its colours. Above all, my art reflects the joy I find in creating a painting or image where nothing is predetermined, but everything remains open and in play.
