Ted Pim has been an artist his entire life and his interests in art began in his earliest years. Today, he creates beautiful, but moody and atmospheric paintings which can be easily confused as the creations done by ‘The Old Masters’.
“My paintings are full of meaning and symbolism and I never really explain each painting—I prefer to let the viewer tell me what they see in the painting,” he told in an interview for My Modern Met. “In my paintings, I try to create something beautiful in a destructive manner, someone once said to me ‘imperfect is perfect’ and it’s a small phrase I think about when in full flow.”
Prim has his own art studio, where all the magic happens. And there, he is greeted and welcomed by his best friend, a Flat-Coated Retriever, Murphy.
“I feel that if he wasn’t there, I would be working stupid hours and spend a lot more time in the studio and probably burn myself out,” he added. “It’s good to step away from a painting for a while as I tend to get lost in the detail.”
He documents his work on Instagram where he has attracted more than 12,000 followers.
