Ulla Plougmand · Winner Collectors Art Prize
ULLA is a Danish-born artist / painter living and working in London England. She grew up in the sprawling Danish countryside. Her father was a dedicated GP, her mother a psychologist, her upbringing was liberal, but caring. She later studied in Copenhagen.
Her colourful and soulful canvases can be found in a number of collections worldwide, both public and private. Her work now span three decades. Her style overall is contemporary Impressionism, but broader. She has covered several diverse subjects: from dreamy landscapes (dreamscapes), female forms, the cosmos, to now philosophical nostalgia, often seen in her memories of Scandinavia and Dream Blues.
She has exhibited her work, often solo, in several countries, mainly in England (London) and the USA. Several have won prizes. ULLA has travelled the world widely and later ‘interpreted’ her experiences on canvas. Wherever she went she sketched and took photos - often to never take a second look, it all went into her ‘life’s computer’, as she calls it.
Over the last few years her work has become increasingly philosophically inspired, often showing fond nostalgia. She may use trees or flowers as metaphors for people. She is showing her passion throughout for a variety of subjects: from dreamscapes, the female form, the cosmos, lately to her hope for a better and more peaceful world.
She will use an abundance of colours - as a result of having lived a colourful life - her ‘Danish blues’ are a recurring favourite. She relies almost entirely on her ‘mind’s eye’ when she paints. As ULLA says, “I paint my life in colour, from the heart”.
