Jannik Hösel on How He Taught Himself to Paint and His Take on the Role of Symbols in Storytelling
Jannik Hösel is a German classical painter currently studying with Odd Nerdrum.
Growing up in an environment that offered no possibilities to be formally trained in the craft, he chose to go down the autodidactic road, and sits down in the Cave to share his knowledge on self-learning, which ranges from suggested exercises and how to think as you study — to basic awareness of painting materials.
Hösel is also concerned with the psychological faithfulness of motifs. He warns against becoming too "symbolic" or "deep", and how you can attain the middle road of storytelling.
