Malena Belafonte about Per Hillo art

The first time I saw a painting by Per Hillo, I finally felt that an artist had found the key to what ignited me as a “non-artist”. I am a total history-gig, love Renoir, Monet, the Impressionists and the Expressionists, but it is not often that I feel excitement when I look at modern art. Hither Year’s art has a story that we can learn from, but personally, I feel that modern art needs to inspire me. Art is what art does, and Per Hillo’s paintings make me happy. The story behind the paintings and the story behind the artist make me feel joy and excitement about the future. It is that simple. We are in a time where we need to feel comfort, inspiration, hope, happiness, not to mention the need to share all those feelings with others. Per Hillo’s color palette touches the soul, and it is totally ok that the soul feels a little glamourous when it reacts….
