About:

My name is Lone Hansen. I am a Danish artist and have been creating art for many years. I am also a long time practicing buddhist. I gain some of my inspiration from buddhist philosophy as well as the world around me. I work both abstract and figuratively.

I am an educated technical designer, as well as having a college degree as a fine arts teacher - and I am partly educated as a wooden boat builder. A technical designer is a mixed education, which consists of drafting, industrial design, architecture and engineering. I later developed on that knowledge to become an educated fine arts teacher.

I have been teaching fine arts to children and adults, and tried to inspire their own experiements within art. I have also been teaching adults how to develop their hobby of photography into an artform and taught digital photo manipulation, as well as digital drawing and painting.

A few years ago, I gave up teaching to concentrate on a new job as a part owner of a veterinary clinic. But in recent years I have taken up painting again, and I have also designed and build my own off-grid wooden summerhouse with the help of my spouse. We did all the woodwork ourselves. I do not have that much spare time. At the clinic I work part time as the accountant, webdesigner, programmer, webshop administrator and veterinary nurse. This too inspires my interest in nature and my arts creation. It is all interconnected in one way or another.

Even though I have participated in some exhibitions, you will not find any references of exhibitions etc. on my website. As a buddhist, my artwork is not about my ego. It is about the process and joy, which can be compared to training meditation, and the resultant outcome. I have no interest in exhibitions or accolades. I simply share here for your enjoyment. Previously I usually have stayed anonymous. But someone asked me to share my work online - art and photography. This is the beginning of that project.

I have done paintings, drawings, aquarells, perspective drawings and paintings, digital paintings, concept designs, logos, 3D game art, photography, webdesign programming and more. Doing digital works, I have used AutoCad, Skechup, PhotoShop, InDesign, Blender, ZBrush, Modo, 3ds Max, Rhino, GIMP, Painter, Krita and Rebelle - as well as worked with Logic Pro, Ableton Live and Pro Tools for sound production. My art is for others to enjoy.

”Dare to dare”

A little bit of what is and what´s not.

Unravelling facetious complexities.

Interesting mix of all things childish and grown.

Easily impressed.

Inspired and amused.

On the road less travelled,

chasing the silver lining, the presence, and the abundance of diversity.

A profusion of love and plethoric idiosyncrasies.

Compassion and profound care.

Need I say more for you to dare?
