Britt Berg “Spirituality and self-realization are the pillars of my art practice.” Britt Berg is a self-taught intuitive Swedish painter and an author. She runs a Healthcare center in her home town Falkenberg/ Sweden, where she conducts regular courses in intuitive painting, meditation, toning and also holds lectures on heightened sensitivity. Her book, ‘Yet I Speak’, has her paintings alongside poems, and other stories from her life. “My paintings often show different worlds and different life forms,’ she explains. Her life’s mission is to get people to ‘open up’ because the soul is extensive and limitless. Her art is inspired by inner realization. Freedom of expression and knowledge are the tools she uses to paint her inner soul emboldened on an empty canvas. She doesn’t make preliminary sketches but allows her creativity to spill on the

paintings are serene and mentally calming. The brush strokes either absent or delicate, add to this tranquillity. Britt is an effervescent, self-motivated, and highly sensitive artist who believes in life’s infinite nature; its endless wealth and its unparalleled opportunities. She aspires to kinder spirituality in others’ lives through her art practice. “When I paint, the entire world vanishes; problems cease to exist; and all there’s left is an unadulterated soul,” confesses the artist.
