The book is in spanish. Hector Castillo from Bogotá, Colombia writes very poetic essays about Trees, the Night, Light, Death, Loneliness, Solitude, Compassion and I Have made 11 paintings illustrating his words.
It was a great challenge for me making these paintings. I wondered – “How do I illustrate Faith? or Compassion?” – I think I succeeded. Both Hector and I are very pleased with the final result, andI am impressed by the colours in the book. The printing is great.
Illustrations for a new book
The Colombian author Hector Castillo and I have started a project together. He writes poetic and reflective essays on various subjects and I make paintings to illustrate his words. It will be a philosophical art book. Some of the themes are: The Night, Life, The Death, Trees and The Soul.
We plan to finish our book this spring. Next step is to find the right publisher and get the book out in the world. The book is in Spanish, but we may want to translate it to other languages. But if you are able to read it in Spanish, you can enjoy the rich poetry of Hector Castillo. I think he is a wonderful author.
sanselighed og nysgerrighed
Stemningsfuld kolorist
Om Henrik Hytteballes billedkunst
Med en ekvilibristisk sanselighed og en udstrakt nysgerrighed overfor verden omkring os skaber Henrik Hytteballe fortællinger på lærred.
Indfaldsvinklen til maleriet er stemninger og motiverne opstår derfor først undervejs i processen, når farveplatten har sat kursen. I sidste ende er resultatet forbavsende levende og overlegent i sin afbalancering af talrige farvekomponenter. Arbejdsredskabet er overvejende spartel på lærred og heri ligger Hytteballes personlige signatur, hvor netop nuancerigdom og tekstur er afgørende i et akrylmaleri, som skabes i en vekselvirkning mellem vildskab og meditation.
I en hastigt opadgående spiral synes Henrik Hytteballe at sprænge det muliges kunst ud i kreative frembringelser da kunstneren indenfor de seneste år har vist at han er en overordentlig seriøs og talentfuld billedkunstner, ligesom han for længst har manifesteret sig som komponist og musiker. Sikke en rejse og sikke et talent!

The story behind Dahab Suite
It all started with a journey to Dahab in Egypt last Christmas and New Year.
Before we left Dahab, Gitte and Henrik decided that this was plenty of inspiration for a separate exhibition with paintings reflecting the impressions that Dahab gives so generously.
The atmosphere by the coast in Dahab is so relaxed – Dahab seems to be where chill-out was invented. People are friendly and you feel safe and secure although many of the citizens in Dahab are living on a very small budget.
We enjoyed the wonderful corals in the Red Sea, riding on camels. After hiking in the red desert we had delicious tea at the Bedouins and experienced a fantastic sunset followed by an amazing full moon.
We shared the streets with goats and sheep and a lot of children playing. Unfortunately the kids treated the wild dogs badly, but along the coastline in the cafés and bars, the animals were guests, too and sometimes joined us at the table.
We were impressed by the quality of Egyptian cotton and the bright colors and wonderful patterns used in textiles, lamps and carpets.
We want to give our thanks to this wonderful place by making this exhibition and we want to change focus from violence and political conflicts to the fact that in Dahab peace rules and people live together no matter how different their lifestyle is.
We do hope that Egypt and its people again will experience prosperity and good quality of life. Therefore it is important that the tourists go back to Egypt, because so many Egyptians are depended on the income paid by foreigners.
We want – with this exhibition – to express our gratitude and colorful experience in Dahab in an artistic way and to share positive view on Egypt.
Dahab Suite
It all started with at journey to Dahab, Egypt.
Gitte Klausen and I decided that all the inspiration we got in Dahab should be used for a joint exhibition. Now 2 years later, we are ready to show our work: 40 paintings with impressions from Dahab.

Lyriske kompositioner (in Danish)
Om Henrik Hytteballes billedkunst
Med en afprøvende tilgang til maleriet inviterer Henrik Hytteballe os med ind i et rigt nuanceret univers, hvor malerens udtalte talent for farvesætning og rytmisk komposition er de bærende elementer. Hvad enten inspirationskilden er musik eller naturoplevelser bobler der en rigdom og insisteren ud af akrylmalerierne, som vil kunstneren viderebringe budskabet om hvor spændende det hele er. Motivisk svinger Henrik mellem abstrakte kompositioner til delvis figurative universer, en fin afveksling, som betinges af stemning frem for planlægning. Teknisk set arbejder kunstneren sikkert med både palet og pensel og følger en spændende malerisk sti, som vedvarende foldes mere og mere ud. Det kan derfor kun anbefales at holde øje med Henriks malerier!
