Location: Sweden
My name is Ingemar Härdelin. I am since 1992 an continuously exercising artist who lives in Kisa, a small village in the south part of Sweden. Today I am 84 years old. During my active years I was a teacher for 28 years and after that I was working as a music secretary for 13 years.
Culture of all kinds- music, art, writing and litterature - have all life been my driving forces. I started playing the cello when I was ten years old and I am still an active cellist. My painting started 1963 during a summer on Fårö. I realized for the first time my old dream to paint in oil. When I returned home after two months on the island I brought fifteen paintings with me.
After that not very much was painted for a long time because of my job as a teacher, but when I retired in 1992 I started creating again, and since then I have been painting continuously. Today I have had more than fourty exhibitions all over Sweden and also one in Los Christianos and one in Milano. During 2015-2017 twelve of my paintings are exposed and promoted via ART UpCLOSE in New York and Miamy. I also have a permanent invitation to exhibit in New York.
During the last three years I have been painting abstract inspirated from the nature. If you look round in the forest or anywhere you can see marvellous patterns and formations everywhere on trees or on a flat peace of rock. That´s art more beautyful than what an artist can create.
