Paintings of horizons and islands of the sea
In this exhibition I have grasped for the first time – and quite anxious –
the landscape most dear to me: the archipelago and the sea.
The subject matter is an enormous challenge in its vastness. In my summer cottage in Turku archipelago
it has been in front of me for decades.
Every situation of light and colour is possible and constantly new. Whatever you paint,
it has existed or will exist. Nothing is exaggerated, even on its roughest!
Sea and sky, changes of weather, times of the day and of the year are seen in the changes of light.
An endless magnificent performance before everyone’s eyes.
Skylines and horizons have been painted from the beginning of time.
But every painter has to paint his/her own?
