Amazing
Primal
Paintings
Created
with PicsArt
In the vast ocean of PicsArt’s
talented community, there
are some especially gifted
painters who shatter
preconceptions of painting
with a mobile app. Enter
Roland Johansson
(@rojo61), a painter who
is as gifted with his finger
on a screen as he is with
oil on a canvas. If you had
to categorize his style, the
abstract expressionism of
the 1930s comes to mind.
He uses wide brushstrokes
and patches of clumped
colors to create bold
portraits. The tactile texture
of paint remains in his mobile
art, and he uses texture as
a tool for self-expression.
His portraits are primal,
and have the raw power of
cave paintings. At a glance,
one would never guess that
these works were done on
a mobile device, but they
were, using PicsArt. Here
we exhibit some of Roland’s
finest paintings.
