Danish artist, Karina Meedom, is one of the new generation of “Skagen Artists”. She was educated in Denmark, where she studied drawing at the Ny Carlsberg Glyptotek (1979-81), and the Graphic Design School of Art (1982-84), and painting at the Funen Kunstakademi (1988-93). She was awarded the prestigious Gold medal in 1991.
Meedom’s passion is color. Her art is inspired by the changing light and shades of the natural world. In 2010, after spending many years on Funen, Meedom relocated to Skagen, a renowned artists’ colony on the northern tip of Denmark, where she found inspiration in the natural world and the unusual quality of light that so profoundly affected such influential 19th century Skagen Artists as P.S. Kroyer and Anna Ancher.
“I get my inspiration from the outdoors. I walk along the seaside and the shapes and especially the colors help form my work. I try to understand the spiritual aspect of color, as well as the visual,” says Meedom, referencing painter, Wassily Kandinsky’s book The Spiritual In Art. “
