› We can become free thinking spirits
with no attachment to the constructed reality ‹
When I was young my dream was to become an artist. Nowadays I am in a constant dialog and transformation, I am not the same person I was just minutes ago. So I guess I am a creative person who likes to do various stuff.
If I create a sculpture, painting, photo, graphic design, comic, gamesscript, book, children book, film, clothes, music, CGI, in any material, shape or form, the ideas flow to me and I am driven to create a physical form out of it.
Over the years of human existence, we have created values; money, countries, beliefs, etc. I accept the rules that follow. But I don't believe in them.
I don't need abstract theories to make it all worth while. I base my life on facts, so I highly respect science and fucking love truth.
What we call 'truth', is constantly changing. What we believe today, are not the same things we believed 100, 1000 or 6000 years ago.
These days, while we evaluate ourself by our brilliance in creating technology, mirroring our souls in the reflections of our screens, we are still driven by our emotions.
I understand that it is an abstract experience standing on this microscopic spinning small ball, in the big black nothing, asking: 'Is there a meaning, what is it all about?'
Maybe it is about nothing. And nothing is actually quiete a good thing. When we become nothing, we become a part of everything.
Universe is based on carbon, oxygen and nitrogen.
› So I guess that is what I am, a part of the universe ‹
"Peter Gröndahl is a remarkably talented and innovative artist presently working and residing in Palma de Mallorca. He arrived to the Mediterranean on invitation by the owners of the Puro Hotel to do its entire artwork.
Peter’s scope as an artist is unparalleled. Not only does he excel in technique and delivery as a painter, Peter truly surpasses himself in his soulfully sketched larger than life charcoal portraits.
Moreover he also charms us as a refined photographer, producing works of an almost poetic appeal. His sculptures like his paintings are energetic filled with movement and executed with grace.
As an Image Designer Gröndahl displays both: flair and stylistic individualism, mixing in just the right touch of the enticingly subversive.
He is by all means an all round artist, blessed with both skill and talent, his works are sheer pleasure to look upon. And once we come into contact with the rage of his oeuvre, and become privy to the passion, dedication and fervour with which he follows his calling, he will no doubt become increasingly hard to ignore as a most significant figure in the international art world of today."
