About the Item

"Summer's Dip" is an impressionist oil study by painter Rolf Hellem. He painted his mother sitting on a dock with her right foot gently grazing the water's surface. She wears a white dress with her long blonde hair hanging loosely over one shoulder. She peers down at the water, observing her hazy reflection. Signed Verso and Recto. Clad in a traditional wood frame with gold accents. Framed dimensions: 19.625 x 15.6875 inches. Bio: Rolf Hellem was born in Narvik, Norway in 1998 and was raised living part time in the north of Norway and part time in the tropical climate of Anna Maria Island, Florida. At the age of 11 he started painting after his uncle introduced him to some art in a surfing magazine. At the age of 19 Rolf moved to Florence, Italy to study classical art for 6 years. He is now based in Florence. "Growing up my grandfather would tell me incredible stories; Viking sagas, world history, stories of his trips into the mountains and across the world. He was an inspirational storyteller. I believe he instilled in me a deep passion to tell my own stories, to go out into the world and search for them on my own. What for him was oral story telling is for me visual story telling. Therefore, my mission as an artist is to let my brushes guide me to discovering my own language. With paint and some pencils, I wish to explore different cultures, philosophy, the past, and my relationship to it all. I tend to speak quite monotone but color and brushstrokes let me tell a more vibrant story."
