Hampus Balanzo Wernemyr

———————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————————— About
––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––––

Hampus’ paintings introduce characters and objects, sometimes blurry yet always precisely depicted, that capture the feeling of waking up to the echoes of a dream, a magical realm that spits you back into the world and leaves you seeing a little more magic. Hampus balances emotions, impressions, assumptions through his paintings. Sadness appears alongside happiness, a pair of lips frowning and smiling at the same time, a balancing act.
