Welcome
My name is David, I grew up painting. My father was an artist and for me it was never something strange to make paintings. It was part of the family. We were probably the only family in the small village of Rottne with a studio in the garden.
Here there was room for creativity. My father taught me how to make EggTempera paint from scratch with pigments and eggs.
The classic historical craft of painting has always interested me.
Now I make my own oil paint with pigment and linseed oil. A 500-year-old method that has not changed since then.
There is something magical in using the same materials and working methods as the great masters of the 16th century.
My interest in painting with oil began many years ago. And at the art school, I had the opportunity to immerse myself and develop my painting technique.
Please feel free to look at my paintings and let me know if you find something that interests you.
Best regards/David Kihlberg.
Making Oilpaint
Linenoil, Pigment and a bit of beewax, Blend well and press the ingredients together with a Pigment Muller. Mix against a glass plate.
Fill The Tube With Paint
Fills the emty tubes, and Sorts the different oilcolors that are used.
The Finished Poduct
This is the finished painting, painted on pure linen canvas. A long road with hard work, but when you’re done, hopefully you’ll feel a sense of satisfaction.
I leave reality and society and enter the world of painting where different rules prevail. Where Beauty, form and emotion can have a voice.

Oil Painter
I have looked at David’s paintings and I can see that he definitely has something. The way he is moving is forward.
Ernst Billgren
Artist
What fascinates me so much about David’s painting is the way he uses light. The light itself plays the main role.

David has the ability to make expressive and moving paintings. They are as vivid and unpredictable as life itself.
