silkart

As a silk painter I am totally self-taught. Painting on silk has its own characteristics, including the fact that the silk paint spreads on silk in seconds and dries in minutes. You need to throw yourself into the process and create on the fly in order to keep up.

If a drop of paint accidentally falls on the silk, it cannot be removed. In my early years I used to get annoyed and considered the work to be ruined for such a mistake. Nowadays I have learned that the ”mistake” is often the catch of the work that wanted to come forth over my conscious self.

Silk is a fascinating natural material that allows the colours to glow in an extraordinary way.

I paint with special silk paints on white silk streched on wooden frames. The artwork appears through me on silk, I don’t draft nor think anything beforehand. I let come whatever comes.

As I paint, I feel deep joy and satisfaction. That is how I know I am on the right path in my work of creation.

Lovestory

In this work, there is a wonderful mutual connection. Love is the most beautiful thing on Earth, and Valentine’s Day, as well as every day, is a great opportunity to show someone that they are important to you.

It’s not a coincidence that two people happen to be in the same place at the same time on this immensely large ball. The most beautiful part of life’s adventure is relationships in all their abundance.

Whether the significant person is a friend, relative, or loved one, a close individual is always a beautiful miracle, and such a miracle cannot be admired and appreciated enough.

I remember how to fly

Trust is the key, like a gate opener.

No matter how much we wish for something, it only takes power when we open ourselves up to trust that it will come true.

Dancing with trust on top of emptiness

Whether it was our time to proceed or to stay in an ostensible state of eventlessness, both options call for trust and daring.

Trust in yourself, trust in life, trust in the Higher Force. Trust in the fact that everything will eventually go well.

Sometimes it’s easier to trust more than in some other times. When everything’s going well our dance through lives and eternities might perhaps look like this.

I am an unobstructed flowing light

The title of this work could be ”Enjoying the flame of life”, and while experiencing the artwork one could listen the song called ”Lumous” (”Enchantment”) from the Finnish artist Tuure Kilpeläinen. My most powerful experience is understanding that we are limitless light, and our souls should remind ourselves of the fact that we consist of unobstructed flowing light.

I trust, i understand, i set free

As we set a bond, a thing or a relationship free, we need to understand first how big an impact it has on us that we find the courage to have faith in uncontrollable and unpredictable events in life.

Once I finally have the courage to trust, I can thoroughly understand that freedom is our true essence. Setting ourselves and others free is the biggest act of love.

My roots in the light

Sometimes you may feel like you don’t belong anywhere, as if you were rootless in your life.

Those times it’s good to remember that our true roots are where we came from and where we will return to. In the light. It’s comforting that those roots can never be taken away from us.

Breaking down and becoming whole

Many people who have gone through hard times know what it’s like when something utterly beautiful starts to sprout from within oneself under pressure. That sprout is more authentic and gorgeous than anything ever before and leads to a completely new way of existing. Something essential within oneself gets renewed, sort of reincarnated.

And as you can see in the picture, the forces of light are with us in transformations as well.

Fox moon and today as well evereything good will be possible

Every day all of us will have endless opportunities to become aware of the possibilites of the impossible. Overthinking can lead to an overheated knot in our brain, and when it happens, the kindest thing to do is to let go and rest with a good conscience.

They don’t say without reason that laziness is the source of creativity. Rest enables good ideas to emerge.
