«Life is a great big canvas……throw all the paint you can on it» Danny Kaye.
Artist; LENNIE
Biography: Eileen Samb/signature Lennie
Contemporary Impressionism Fluid Art. Abstract Fluid Art
I live and paint in Oslo Norway. Born in the town of Sandvika, 15 min. from Oslo, birth date 03.02.1959, norwegian Mother and american Father.
My name/signature….Lennie, the reason; Oline Bogen, my norwegian great Grandmother had a problem with pronouncing my american name, Eileen, so she called me Lennie.
My birth place, Sandvika was visited by Claude Monet in the winter of 1895, February and March. He painted a series of the winter landscapes and a painting of my hometown Sandvika. He is one of the great painters that has been a great inspiration for me.
I began painting with oil when I was 10years old, my Mamma bought me «paint by numbers». I soon wonder out beyond the numbers. Since I was young at school, Ive had the benefit of having art-teachers that also were artists. I value the lessons in the Arts they have taught me.
My inspiration is the ever-changing light, seasons and nature of Norway. Ive also had 2 trips to Senegal, Vest Africa in 2011-2012, and was there for 6 months for each trip to paint. A new world of different culture, color, nature and ambiance.
Now I am taking a step away from the classical way of painting and exploring Contemporary Impressionism Fluid Art and Abstract Fluid Art. The main differense in this way of painting is, I pour the paint onto the canvas, versus painting with a brush, p.knife..etc. There are many variations within this tecnique with acylic paint, pigments, mediums and how it flows in a liquid form and what it will do when it is poured on the canvas. So this method of painting involves understanding the alchemy of paint and mediums when combined in order to achieve the intended result. I find this method of painting, challenging, educational and exiting to work with.
I am a classical trained artist; act drawing , perspektiv, composisjon, color theory, croque drawing, texture theory, dekor design, design compositions and a degree in Art Historie.
I have been painting for over 30 years. Aquarelle, oil, acrylic, soft pastells and my need to grow as an artist has lead me to the technique of Fluid Art. It allows me to be spontaneous, but aware of my education in the Arts, compsisition, balance, color,etc……its all there.
