Burning the ice/ Jäitä poltellessa

 

2009, oil on canvas 30x40 

I have a tendency to gather too much to do. I am interested about so many things and I want to make a difference several affairs and places at the same time. That makes me sometimes just too busy and I feel like I'm burning the ice.

There was only red, blue and titanium white in palette when I painted this.

Spring is always beautiful and energetic time in my life. Sun is bright and everything just comes to life, nature and people also.

They talk Shhht! about me

2008, oil on canvas 73x60

I hate gossips and gossiping people. I am aware that people have extremely diffrent opinions about me, some love me and some think that I'm the most irritating person in the world ;) And that's fine to me. However sometimes somebody starts to gossip about me, I don't like it but it's insignificant to me unless those talks hurt somebody of my close ones.

When I painted this, I often listened to the radio and there was this Matt Pokora's song "They talk sh*t about me" played over and over again. That song was catchy and the same time a little bit annoying, so what would be more appropriate name for this painting? ;)

Does anybody know the feeling when you are overly sensitive, when you have exposed yourself too much? Then you are just too bare and transparent without any protection...

Let's do some shopping!/Ostaosta!

I am a victim of fashion and commercials. I love fashion pics and I think that they are works of art. Those pictures are alluring, beautiful and creative. Fashion photographers have to be imaginative when they create images that are different and unusual. A fashion product has to be portrayed creatively while at the same time conveying style and classiness.

Same time that I love fashion, I hate it. I hate fashion industry, materialism and mass consumption. So I have to struggle between these things in me. Those both ideas are like some little lady sitting on my shoulder and whispering all those things to my ear.
