Mirja Betzholtz
Painting
In my creation, I base my work on events and experiences in life's small and big moments. For me, it's about expressing what I feel in my body, here and now. I let myself be guided by experiences with a curiosity and joy in the process, where a consideration of the world around me, encounters and scents are important. I try to let my creation rest in the eyes of the beholder.
It was only after retirement that I began my creative work. Before that, I worked as a teacher in pedagogy, with a focus on interculturality. My “moment” came in connection with a visit to a Van Gogh exhibition at Kalmar Castle. After the exhibition, a joint sitting was offered with a focus on creativity. It was “There and Then” that it happened to me that my creativity took shape.
