As a painter working from life and urban surroundings, Stefan Berg is interested in perceptual experience. Drawn to landscapes where nature and architecture converges, Berg’s documentarian vistas are created through the immersion of his environment, and the fluctuating elements that are unique to each painting experience. Working outside involves working within time, creating paintings which embody duration. Berg’s scenes demonstrate the impact and evidence of human habitation in our surroundings, and depicts this reality out of circumstance. “Every landscape has its own history, by painting it I consider a geological, architectural, art historical, and personal past.”
