Barbro (Babba) Werke
Short story.
-
Self-taught.
-
Music, painting, design, theater, dance and any art-form is vital for me.
-
I've always been doing something connected to art.
-
My first love was music and have been working pretty much in that art-form.
-
Visual art (or image-making) has been my priority for several years now but never went "public". Only lately did I dare to go "out there".
-
I'm not very fond of long analysis of my work… of any artwork for that matter… When an artist creates a piece (of something) he/she is so intensely into the creation that all words are totally inessential. Or else you create a piece of theater or write a novel… For me, art is a connection in between the art-piece and the onlooker. No long stories about the art-piece. The onlooker makes his/her own interpretation. It's up to everyone to feel or not to feel. Too many words, analysis, explanations can kill anything - let our mind free, free to our own interpretation. Sure… when I make a piece I certainly have something specific on my mind, but that's not important. What's important is the onlookers impression and interpretation. And there's not one "correct" interpretation - they're all correct.
It's yours, it's personal, you own it - and nobody can take it away.
-
And why do I do this? To survive:-) Not materially (of course) but for all the rest.
Without creating? No, that's not viable.
