Äiti maan krooninen melankolia/Mother Earth and her chronic melancholia

 

Akryyli ja muste kankaalle 2016

En ymmärrä, miten en ole muistanut laittaa tätä tänne galleriaan. Maalattu tosiaan jo 2016. Muovijätteet ja ilmaston lämpeneminen ahdisti ja ahdistaa vieläkin, mutta kun nyt niistä käydään enemmän julkista keskustelua, on oma tuska asiasta tasaantunut.

This and "Straight on" are both sides of the coin. Different ways to react in same situation.

And the name of this work could be also The Flower of Carnege or Shura no Hana (same in Japanese)

Straight on/Kohti uutta

2011  ink and gesso on wallpaper

There are many ways to react in different situations. When some break down, others just push forward and try even harder.

Odette

2011 oil on canvas, 40x40

This name could be also "The death of Odette", but I thought that name could be too rough leaving just too little for everybody's imagination.

Odile

2011 oil on canvas, 40x40

Odile is the black swan from the ballet Swan Lake, daughter of evil sorcerer Von Rothbar. Odile is passionate, cunning, vibrant, cold-blooded and she doesn't avoid any means.

Whatever Lola wants...

 2011 oil on canvas 50x70

In the spirit of Whatever Lola wants by Gotan Project and Sarah Vaughan. One of my favourite songs.

"Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets

And little man, little Lola wants you

Make up your mind to have no regrets

Recline yourself, resign yourself, you're through

I always get what I aim for
And your heart and soul is what I came for

Whatever Lola wants, Lola gets
Take off your coat
Don't you know you can't win?

You're no exception to the rule
I'm irresistible, you fool
Give in!"
