Description
Exhibited in New York, Paris, Barcelona, Geneva to mention a few. Represented in the Italian art dictionary "International Encyclopaedic Dictionary of Modern and Contemporary Art", Edition Alba 2004-2005, Italy.
"Richard Solstjärna's bold, expressive paintings depict abstracted, loosely anthropomorphic figures in which no precise human body is discernible, but which seem to be living, vital creatures - spirits, perhaps, or beings in constant metamorphosis, defined only by their vigorous energy and resonance of color. The figures, painted in vivid hues of red, orange and yellow, glow like fiery sprites against color fields of blue. In this animate primary palette, the spontaneous strokes of red possess such a sense of rhythmic movement that they seem to depict spirit incarnate, while the vast blues create an expanse of space that emphasize the isolation of the individual and the enormity of the external world, the world in which the spirit exists, acts, and grows. Solstjärna's art bridges Eastern and Western art forms, incorporating the zest of abstract expressionism with the grace of Japanese calligraphy and the simplicity of Zen Buddhist art forms. Solstjärna has displayed his art in exhibitions all over Europe and in the U.S., and has won several awards for his work in France and Italy." - Danica Novgorodoff, art critic NY, USA.

Presentation
Richard Solstjärna is a Swedish contemporary artist whose work exists at the intersection of art, philosophy, spirituality, and science. His paintings transcend conventional abstraction by exploring the invisible energies that shape reality.
Drawing inspiration from abstract expressionism, Japanese calligraphy, Zen Buddhist aesthetics, and concepts from quantum physics, Solstjärna has developed a distinctive artistic language that speaks to both the emotional and intellectual senses.
Exhibitions in Europe, New York and Odessa. Including Solo, group exhibitions, Art Fairs and Biennials. Won prizes and Awards during the years. Represented in international art dictionaries and art books. International Press and media coverage over the years. Solstjärna's works can be found in numerous national and international permanent collections.
"In my paintings the Energy and Forces which are immanent in Nature are visualized. Forces at work in maximum self-sufficiency. Primary, undiluted, full of tension. Never at ease always in the moment. A pulse in rhythm and rhyme. Emerging from a Void, an emptiness and silent space which is the source of its origin." - Richard Solstjärna
