The exhibition includes paintings from the series The Enchantment and The Kite, and a separate painting The Iceberg.
The origin of The Enchantment is a dream in which eyes of animals were glowing in the night, forming patterns of lights and routes in a dark forest. The paintings move between dense black colour and bright contrasts.
The Kite is based on a photograph of kite flying on a translucent spring day. The paintings deal with lightness, blurriness and distance.
The Iceberg examins an iceberg reflected in the water through gray shades.
The paintings were made in 2008 with acrylic and oil colour on canvas.
The exhibition has been kindly supported by the Arts Council of Helsinki Metropolitan Region.
