Orion discovered Carratalá's art at Art Madrid 22 and was lyrical. He sent me some photos of the works and I liked what I saw right away. His strong, simple lines and sensitive compositions touch something inside me, something recognizable. As I read more about Calo, I better understand the relationship both Orion and I feel to his art. It turns out that we have common sources of inspiration in both Norway and Tanzania. Neither Orion nor I use the landscape as a motif, but we love it and often we get our ideas in the middle of the forest, by the sea or on a plain in the middle of Africa. Travel is a source of inspiration that give individual expressions of the same impression, which can sometimes give certain commonalities. It is these commonalities that I see. They touch me deeply and the more I see, the more inspired I become.

Art is one of my biggest sources of inspiration, so now I'm really looking forward to experiencing these paintings and graphics live the 3th of December in our studio! And I also look forward to meet Calo Carratalá and hopefully having a chat about magical places that we both have visited, such as Bagamoyo, Zanzibar and the mountains in Norway.

Below are pictures of the art that he will show. They are for sale. Rejoice!

We hope you have the chance to come and be part of this event the 3th of December!

Today Orion and Calo will meet you in the studio. I am in Sweden unfortunately so I only participate from distance.
