Tavares/Blades Art

| Sweden

I have always painted and early on in life received broad training in various artistic fields such as sculpture, book binding, woodwork, textile techniques and forging of various metals.

Since my training at The Florence Academy of Art in Italy I have painted off and on, using many different techniques. I have, however, not had painting as part of my profession until 2016, when I had reached a point where I wanted to take my realistic painting further. I have gradually established myself as a painter focusing on traditional drawing and oil painting. 

My passion lies in painting people – interpreting the world around me through my paintings. Most of my compositions involve people, though I also very much enjoy landscapes and still life.

Rendering people working with what they love, or surrounded by objects that have meaning in their lives, is something that inspires me a lot. It is timeless, but it also mirrors the time we are living in right now. I work a lot with portrait commissions of various kinds, and a new technique that I have developed recently is live painting sessions where I depict people at events or at their workplaces or in their homes.
