"Scandinavian Influences" by Mats Levander
1st to 31st December 2011

All of them good, meaningful, plentiful and beautiful.
With his Scandinavian background combined with life in the UK, he likes to bring out and get the best from his experiences.
The camera is a fantastic and amazing tool with which he uses to express himself and it is the medium of his choice. It could have been a brush or the written word instead.
In his pictures, he tries to illustrate a sense, a feeling or an emotion. To observe and to build a story. His work is based on lines and curves of nature, faces, architecture and the things which fascinate him, as well as the human body and he tries to work from detail to overview.
