Inspired by the story of Icarus. The man who flew too close to the sun and burned his wings and plummeted to the sea. A story that has always struck home, the dangers of ambition.
With this piece I projected my own existence into the figure, as it only feels the more relevant. The trees and their reflection come together to give the form of the wings that once were.
Some interpretations say he smiled and laughed his way down back to earth, I did at least.

Memories linger in the first layers of abandoned works. Abandoned works curse my home, every corner you turn. Like the paint, these memories dry. The works are abandoned never to reach their potential, never able to express themselves. In this way I have been cursed to silence, for all the works I have abandoned. I have abandoned my ability to speak, and all that i'm left with are memories. Vain muistot on Jäljellä.

Uncles Garden
2023
Oil on canvas
60cm x 40cm
This piece was painted ''en plein air'' in my uncles garden. A late spring day in southern Finland, the suns kiss last long on the sky as it lights up the world below. My uncles garden is a very special place to me. When I lived at his house I would spend countless afternoons gazing at the garden you see here.
