"I'm a tireless explorer. If I become too comfortable and feel I know too much of a subject, I get bored. What I am constantly seeking for, needs to be unknown to me. Creating my art is about playing and exploring freely. If I am asked to describe my work, I can only come up with words such as: liquid, energy, shapes, rhythms, playful, nature's wonders, curiosity, contemplation, poetry, freedom, meaning, longing, and intuition."
For her, painting is about playing freely, without intellectualizing the process or the result. The creation comes from a flow of energy, memories of nature, and freedom. None of it is planned or determined, it is solely intuitive. She describes her creative process as the synergy between the artist, the material and an unknown presence, that she calls “force”. She is not analytic. Emma’s paintings are purely intuitive, they source from pleasure and freedom. She starts with a blank paper and follows the flow. In her spare time, she walks in the virgin forests surrounding the city she lives in. She finds most of her inspiration in nature’s shapes, colors and patterns, leading to abstract and moving forms in her paintings.
