About Marit Geraldine Bostad:
Marit Geraldine is originally an Art Director, with 10 years of visual projects within film, illustration and consept building in Oslo. Besides the commercial work she has always been painting - taking part in small scale art projects. In 2010 she left the art direction field for good. A change she has never regretted. ”To work with my hands and feel the materials is essential to me. I got lost in my computer, the real world became distant, cold. I simply had to get rid of all the filters and short commands, and so I did”.
Materials:
I mostly paint with acrylic paint on canvas. Sometimes I reinforce a color or an expression with oil paint at the end of the process. I only use the best canvas which contains 11 % synthetic material in the mix.. This makes the canvas very solid and long lasting, not to mention great to work with.
The paint I use is only the very best and has long-lasting, eco-friendly qualities. The colors stay the same year after year with great resistance against both light and erosion. These materials keeps the artwork at its best, regardless of time.
I love my acrylic paint called Neptun, Artist Acrylics. It allows me to be spontaneous. I have painted with oil, but to continue a new layer you have to pause. I loose the nerve and the real presence, returning to the piece hours and days later. The time acrylic paint takes to dry (which is not so long) I actively use in my painting process. Sometimes "I mess up» my «perfect» motive when it is almost dry. Other times I want a sober touch and add water in the mix. The acrylic has so many great sides, and a lot of times people ask if I paint with oil. Just because I can make it look oily, thick and classic.
Materials have a great impact in the process of making an artwork. It allows you to reach beyond imagination. Surprise yourself, every time. Push you further and develop your own artistic identity.
