Seizing Global Adventure with Photographer Sesse Lind

Image
The Multigeographic Photographer Sesse Lind confesses, “It’s quite funny that apart from an aesthetic standpoint, I don’t really watch or follow any sport. It’s just not my thing. I’ve never had any interest in it. Rather, it’s the strength or weakness of the light, people, and situations that interest me the most. It’s true that a lot of magical, overwhelming, and mind-blowing situations occurred during my trip in 2010 around parts of Africa. It will probably forever be one of my favorite places on the planet. Something I knew going in but which became abundantly clear is that Africa is not just one thing; it’s a continent consisting of many countries that are radically different from each other in many ways.” This statement relates to Lind’s experience travelling with famed American artist Kehinde Whiley, famed for his portrait of President Barack Obama which was commissioned by the Smithsonian National Portrait Gallery. Whiley partnered with PUMA to travel through West Africa to mee...

Interview with painter Haydn Dickenson

Image
Haydn Dickenson was born in Hertfordshire in the United Kingdom where he still lives and works, specialising in large, subtly exuberant free abstract pieces. In his unique work on canvas and board, collage, acrylics, oils and other media collaborate in a suggestive dance of colour, texture and form - at times urgent and vital, at others calm, meditative and spiritual. Haydn is inspired by the natural world, and by Humanity, Psychology, Mysticism and Spirituality. Musical references also appear – His former career was as a Concert Pianist. Haydn Dickenson How and when did you begin making art and in what way do you think your background as a classical concert pianist influenced your art and style? From a very young age I always loved to paint and draw. My mother was a fine painter, rigorously trained at art schools and colleges and later going on to teach Art herself. She encouraged me so devotedly in drawing and painting when I was young and I am so grateful for that nurturing. As a wi...
