JENS MALMGREN I create.

Valeria with open shirt

Valeria had long hair and she was wearing an open shirt. I made this painting on the 29th of May 2011 and this was the last painting for the season 2010-2011 at gallery de Stoker in Amsterdam. It had been an intensive season with many things I learned.

One thing I heard more and more during this season was that my paintings had something of a fresco style to them. This was not said as something negative but just a reflection of the viewer. I will take this with me into the new season and figure out what my oil painting style really is. I have much to learn.
