Minä ja Thanatos Figurative Delicate plant adapts and settles

Delicate plant adapts and settles into the forms of the ink with which the cotton is dyed

inviting the viewer to contemplate identity and emotion

glossy black and blue glaze

It has this hollow feeling which I like a lot that comes from the color compositions which are layered

or from the shapes of the paint itself

Minä ja Thanatos Figurative Delicate plant adapts and settlesIn Greek mythology, Thanatos is the personification of death. In the work, a self portrait character makes peace with death: they play Yatzy on a picnic blanket and enjoy drinks. The work was exhibited in my solo exhibition "Sanitarium Holiday" in the Tm gallery of the Association of Finnish Painters in 2022.
