Solveig Moa - Painter
Artist Solveig Moa is interested in people, especially people close to the sea. Her paintings can be seen in a number of locations around Langeland
Man and the Sea
“I live close to the sea, I find inspiration from the beach and from the culture associated with people who live next to the coast. I aim to portray light and movement in my paintings, and the motif is always central to my work. I include hints, allusions and small references to art history. I favour the controlled rather than the uncontrolled, both in my painting techniques and choice of subject. Additionally I have produced a series of portraits, such as the “Fishermen” of South Langeland” - Solveig Moa.
