Trees are magical and autumn is the season to let go. “Our present situation is the result of all the things we have left behind” and the trees that release their leaves during fall are a wonderful reminder. They whisper “Next season, we all will get new leaves and you will too.”

Female faces are always a big inspiration to me. I enjoy especially drawing the eyes and this is what I start with. It is the most difficult part of the painting but also the most exciting to find out her expression, her character while drawing.

To me, sunsets are painted by loved ones. I’m often thinking about my sister, because when you loose someone you love, it’s the sunsets  which makes you thinks about them. Sunsets too have met an end. The sun sets each day, a constant motion. Each day, the sunset portrays an ending and the chance to start new fills every following morning. I love sunsets, most of the time I just enjoy watching a variety of colors fill the sky. Sunsets allow me to stop and enjoy the little things in life. It sparks inspiration and mystery, creating innovative minds, noticing beautiful natural things.

During a lovely talk with my Finnish friend she told me about “sisu”, a word that implies “inside”. Translated from Finnish it means “inner strength” which is a unique form of resilience and perseverance in the face of adversity. However, I remember being a kid that had to much “sisu” as a way to survive difficult times. Now I know that healthy sisu means asking for help, knowing when to take a break and taking time to sort through feelings rather than rushing to the next event. Hence, I painted “La balance”.
