Motivation
Felix Christiansson manoeuvres between two artistic disciplines very few master at the same time: painting and film (or in his case more specifically, painting and animation).
It is almost without exception a concern when one of our students introduces an ambition to combine two disciplines simultaneously. Not because we don't want it, but because dedicating oneself to one alone, as all of us in the art field know, requires pretty much all the time we have.
We in the jury would argue that Felix Christiansson masters precisely this, a total dedication and highly sophisticated implementation of two disciplines in parallel. We are delighted to award Felix Christiansson this year's Helle Stigung travel grant says the jury.
The travel grant is 20 000 sek.
