"I have passed all my life learning how to draw as a child..." (Pablo Picasso) Leif Lønne says his art belongs to society... ...BEING A PAINTER IS A VERY SOLITARY WORK... 
„My jungle is the asphalt. When others are looking for the mountains or the sea...I`m looking for the asphalt. Asphalt is nature." "The human eye is capable to see more or less 800.000 spectrums of colours...and I love them all...! Take a look at rascism. There is something I have to say: It`s the most stupid thing...becos I never found two people with the same colour." "I admire groups like Cobra and Blauwe Reuter, cos I like to see artists working together...doesn`t matter what area wich one works...creativity for me, is to express oneself." ." I am not just a painter, I am also a writer and musician. The need to express myself is so intense, that I could not be satisfied by working only in one area." /Details from the interview with Postal do Algarve - by Paula Ferro, 30 March 2008 / |
