My
formal academic training focused on civil engineering, followed by the
formation of a software company, but I decided to pursue my true talent
full time just over a year ago. My goal is to produce works that have a
voice, to broaden my skills and continue to push the envelope of art to
discover new beauties and images of inspiration. To me when I paint, I
see it as a challenge to uncover the image, much like a sculptor carves
stone.
I
have a truly unique range in style and form, from high realisms with a
retro feel, bold female nudes, subdued impressionisms, unique abstracts
and surrealistic landscapes.
No
subject matter is too mundane and I prefer a challenge, as those tend
to
lead to fantastic paintings. My paintings have been available on Ebay
since 1999, however I never took it seriously then. Now that I have
focused on my artwork full time, the value of my paintings have tripled!
Sorsdahl works
can be seen gracing the walls of private homes and
businesses throughout Canada and the USA as well as, Germany, England,
Ireland, Switzerland, Norway, the Netherlands, Mexico and China.
Being
from a small beautiful city in Canada, the Internet has provided a
unique opportunity to showcase my artwork to the world instead a small
number of people passing by a gallery window. My personal website and
auction sites have allowed thousands of people to view each painting.
Representing myself allows for greater control and flexibility in every
aspect of art.
The
most popular word used to describe Sorsdahl paintings has to be
vibrant.
Sorsdahl works are definitely known for the use of bold color with
dramatic contrasts and a surreal feel. Many of the paintings contain
ongoing themes including the struggle to survive in nature and the
beauty that is present in those wild, untamed parts of the world.

Unfortunately
with
success comes imitation. The innovative artists who find success by
creating
original, unique works will inevitably be mimicked by copy cat artists
trying to make a quick buck. I've personally had to deal with 'copy cat
artists' copying my wording, my marketing, and my style, and I'm not
alone.
For this reason, myself, and other artists who have also fallen victim
to
copy cat artists, banded together to form the elite art group IBND.
If you are
a
collector who wishes to support truly ORIGINAL art please be sure to
search
IBND on eBay. IBND: Imitated But NEVER Duplicated. SEARCH IBND for
exceptional, cutting-edge works from the artists who create not imitate!
Thank-you

feedback! It is truly appreciated.
