Ander Kase Landscape Paintings

Ander Kase has thought of being nothing other than an artist. As a child, he was encouraged and inspired by both his parents and godfather, renowned Swedish sculptor Olle Adrin. A graduate of the University of California in Los Angeles (UCLA), Kase received a bachelor of arts degree in design and subsequently earned his bachelor of fine arts degree in Illustration from the reputable and prestigious ArtCenter College of Design in Pasadena, California. Always keeping his hands busy in all aspects of visual and constructive arts, Kase has defined his style and discipline in his paintings. The images are at once magical, tranquil and classic. Making his home in the California countryside, he is surrounded by a vast array of motifs to paint. These images are a notable addition to the existing collections of vistas and views he has witnessed during his travels. Within his impressionistic landscapes, he strongly asserts the principal philosophy of his works: "Throughout time, our environment has been subjected to a myriad of conditions. Humanity has been a major contributor to its transformation. As a consequence, Mother Nature has had to endure the changes bestowed upon her and can only maintain her beauty through preservation. It is my goal to preserve nature in its most pristine state and to capture the well-defined scenes through my painting." His current body of works pays homage to his greatest influences: Monet, Pissarro and Sisley.
