Carmen has been described by the Swedish art historian Göran Ståhle as an artist that never stops reinventing herself.
This is a challenge both for Carmen and also for her audience, you never know what to expect next. Carmen has covered several techniques which has had her shift between casted bronze, Chinese ink, stone prints, watercolours and oil painting. Now in Southern France the overwhelming flora has been an unavoidable inspiration which Carmen dug into with yet other techniques; oil painting on paper applied to canvas in a collage manner covered with resin giving a shiny almost two dimensional effect and ceramics inspired by local volcanic stones but in a free form. Together this creates a multimedia expression of the Mediterranean. The next project of hers will be taking us under the sea to corals and underwater vegetation.
Carmen Lindahl, born 1956, received her basic art education in Luxembourg. She started exhibiting in Paris at the Salon des Independents. Moving to Stockholm in the early 90ies, she pursued her career showing her works at several solo and group exhibits. She was awarded the Swedish Artists Association's member's prize as well as being selected for the Stockholm Spring Art Show (Liljevalchs Vårsalong). Also, her works were chosen for the Tidaholm Print Symposium. She is represented in the collections of several Swedish towns. Carmen also showed her works in Greece and Spain and was chosen as the representative of the Association of Swedish Aquarellists for the Water colour biennale in Italy. Since 2016 her studio is in the old town in Menton, France. Her works from here have been shown locally in Eze, Nice and Monaco as well as in Paris, London, Venice and Stockholm and on line. In 2023, she was accepted to be a member of the Monegasque National Committee of the International Association of Plastic Arts at UNESCO (AIAP UNESCO).
Total greenery, I create my own nature with my paintings. I transfer the same idea into my ceramic sculptures. I wish to transmit feelings, colors and thoughts. My work is also experimental as I use different techniques simultaneously. The oil paintings are made on paper mounted on linen canvas and covered with resin. It gives the canvases a different visual effect than oil paintings. The oil colours have also mixed more like watercolor. The inspiration comes from my experience working in the south of France where plants and trees are abundant.
Studying plants as objects reveals patterns or intricate forms with vivid colors. The paintings are presented in a figurative manner even though sometimes tilting towards the abstract. I want to give to the observer a new way to discover the nature that surround us.
Next project into the blue will include paintings, prints and ceramics.
