Ekegren Hanna | Contemporary Artist: Artworks & Biography

Hanna has developed original and unique skills: her paintings are done largely with acrylics which she applies directly to the surface using nothing but her bare hands. Having this physical connection with the painting medium, Hanna is not subject to the restrictions imposed by standard painting tools and she creates her compositions instinctively, allowing her gestures to express themselves freely on the canvas. Immensely colourful, her characters are portrayed face on but from a very particular angle, giving the viewer a dual perception of their faces. Admiring the work of painters such as Claude Monet and Fernand Léger, Hanna creates her compositions depending on what takes her fancy and what inspires her, paying no heed to current methods, and inviting us to discover her world which is both authentic and poetic.
