Claus Brusen biography

Claus Brusen

" I started back in 1976, with drawings inspired by Salvador Dali, and of course by the Album covers in the seventies, especially artists like Patrick Woodroffe. Later I discovered the fantastic work by Michael Parkes which has that romantic dreamlike thing that I love so much. Claude Verlinde for his expression in the faces of his figures, and very dreamlike landscapes.

All three I admire for there fantastic skills, and wonderful sense for composition.

Other inspiration sources are the Victorian painters, such as John Anser Fitzgerald and Richard Dadd.

For many years I worked with the surreal expression “Dali/Ernst/Magritte.” But always with the fascination for the world of Fairies and other little creatures.

It was not until 1998 that the world of Nactalius. “The name of my own World.” Started seriously and became the only thing I from then on worked with, the discovering of the ordinary life of fairies and other small creatures has from that year been my only passion to Paint.

The fascination of painting is, you are able to create a world that is entirely your own, it is indeed the 'Land of make-believe'. " -- Claus Brusen
