Emil writes about himself:
My name is Emil Bonné Meyer, I am an artist and primarily work with painting. My process is very experimental, and I use all the pigments I can get my hands on. I work, among other things, with the meeting between water and water-repellent substances to create contrasts and contours, and with the thick oil paint meeting the acidic, like coffee, to create textures and blotches. In my studio, there are rows of chemicals and jars of solutions and powders. My current painting style is somewhere between surrealism, minimalism, and abstraction.
For me, the viewer’s, your thoughts and feelings, your understanding of the work is far more important and just as genuine as mine. It is between you and the work that it becomes exciting, there is a conversation that is private and deeply personal. Of course, I would like to have a conversation about my works if there is a desire for it. I gladly share my own interpretation, and I am honored when people share theirs with me, but my understanding is not a definitive answer.
This means that I avoid attaching text to my works; down to the point that they do not get a title. Therefore, I am not particularly practiced in writing about myself and my work as I am doing here. I experience worries and hopelessness like everyone else, it’s just hard to put into words, which is why I paint. That is what makes humans as beings so beautiful, we manage, even when it is most hopeless, to find happiness and love.
