Digital art- without photo shop or other tool, done with pushing i-photo to extremes. Often use my own beginning stages of paintings or drawings as base for digital artworks, which in completion are totally other direction than base used for inspiration.

Statements

Luise Andersen has only recently begun to reveal her lifes work. Soon after her debut she exploded onto the mainstream art world. Her breathtaking pieces have captured international interest.
The stories Luise 'Mignon' is telling through her truly deep, layered works, seem to decipher the past and foretell the future, perhaps sharing her window towards other dimensions and a seventh sense.
Her detailed acrylic 'Mignon' series speaks to the beholder. They inspire raw emotion and ignite ones imagination.
The indescribable 'Duree De Ma Vie" in particular has a growing portion of the art
community considering it the conception of an entirely new style.

Styles

Abstract, Surreal within Real- Symbolic. Personal.

Creative Tools Used

Brushes mostly- has to be THE brush, that feels just right to begin- or later on in progressive stage 'calls'. From the finest, to half an inch..Love the fan brush, any size- angled brushes, rounded, depends. Rarely knife- Often hands. Media I paint on/with, is mostly canvas. Sometimes linen- When I feel like wood, it is wood- or Textured papers, that are archival. ..any material, that is archival and 'calls'. For digital artworks I use i-photo and push it to extremes. Printer epson 1280.

Techniques

Multi layers of transparent various customized hues- choice of colors unique to own- Lines clear, often multi layered, opaque colors- often also rough depends on meaning I want to emphasize- form of etc. Surreal within the real- visions beyond apparent, brought forward- with special forms, often geometrical- and hues. Actually no technique or known as so called 'style'.. do it my way and am recognized as such. As long as is 'true' to my core... .Enjoy also impressionism on occasion. In computer art, I put i photo to extremes until satisfies creative core. In charcoals, intense strokes ..or fingers, water flow etc. Drawings with Polychromos colored pencils..multiple transparent layeers of hues chosen...several various hues topping each other, to see each layer brake through to top layer..which gives luminious feel.

Inspirations

The CREATOR within. Human behavior- Conditions. Duality in 'human' NATURE- and in connection with all, own visions and feelings.. experiences. Travels around continents..meeting people of other traditions, legacies.. history..presence.. The discoveries of TRUTH versus farce..contradictions in behavior- VALUES- So much more. The GREATEST creative spirit within self. ..Do not follow other painters works in trying to copy technique or other. Am on my own and feel secure in ongoing progress . Is a natural.Was in younger years, due to adult guidance, introduced in art history ,in awe by many artists master pieces.. which inhibited my creative flow. DO severely admire true great artwork, by any artist now without feeling, I have to be better in their inspirational resonance.. Figured out, the more I create.. All I have to follow..is OWN expectations of creative self.. Believe me.. never ever is enough..and that is GOOD.. Always discover new and pursue for more knowledge- Beauty with meaning enriches life. ..The CREATOR within...............
is always the alpha , never ending inspiration.
