Carolina Gruner
Self-Taught, Intuitive Painter
My name is Carolina Grunér and I am a self-taught intuitive painter from Finland. I have been painting full time since 2013, when life showed me it was time to start daring creatively and finally follow my heart. When painting, I trust the guidance of my intuition completely. This involves having no preset notion or plan on colours, composition, nor result. Painting like this is my way of hearing my heart, of trusting the process and of allowing me to create pieces that are like landscapes of the soul. There is not a single piece that is created without the enormous love and gratitude for all the inspiration I receive. My biggest inspiration is the process of Life; the challenges of growth, and the beauty of daring to do so. Every painting for me is like a spell I wish to put onto this world - to fill it with warmth, hope, happiness and healing. With trust and proof that daring creatively, that daring to live one's dreams, truly is a possibility for us all.
Dear Artists,
I would like for you to know, that all you are doing is for the good of yourself and for this world.
That all you are feeling is for the good of yourself and for this world. That feeling fear is okay. That feeling self doubt is okay. That feeling frustration and desperation is okay.
That it’s all there, so that you can walk through it.
That it being there is showing you where to go next.
So that you can learn what you need to learn. So that you can grow where you need to grow.
There wouldn’t be fear, if there wasn’t freedom on the other side. And there wouldn’t be freedom on the other side, if there wasn’t first fear.
All fear is here to show you, is that freedom is there for you. On the other side of fear. And that all you need to do to find your freedom, is follow that fear - and walk through it.
Fear is but the guardian of your dreams. The protector of your freedom.
Fear is the key to a lock that you are holding. It’s actually your friend, showing you - proving to you - how much you want something.
So talk to your fear. Ask it what it’s trying to tell you. Through telling you what you are afraid of, it will tell you what it is that you want. Where your path lies. And every step of the way it will show you where you need to go next. Where your ultimate growth lies. The place of your most fulfilling dreams.
So follow your fears. Love them. Appreciate them. Do not be afraid of them, as they are your path to your freedom.
Lovelovelove,
Carolina
