Eat me.
Oil on board, 87*124 cm. December 2011.
This painting is an independent work for the exhibition “Food” in Võru. Our food gives us the face and appearance. What we consume, becomes part of us and looks back in the mirror. We want to be free and independent in our decisions, not bounded by other people’s opinion. We strive for spirit and freedom, but therewhile we have to feed on something – and this process doesn’t always depend on our will as much as we want to believe.
The exhibition will be open until 20th of January! http://uudised.err.ee/index.php?06241677
Power of Femininity
Oil on board, 90*120 cm. November 2011.
This is the second of the three bigger oil paintings on my exhibition “Out of Comfort Zone”. I doubted, if I should make it a self-portrait or not, but I feel that it came out just right. I decided to paint this one really light, colourful, sensitive. And it’s a bit faster work that the “Feel the Attitude”,
Feel the Attitude
Oil on board, 120*90 cm. November 2011.
This is one of the three bigger oil paintings on my exhibition “Out of Comfort Zone”. I had had the vision of a nice, muscular male figure for a while and I found just the right model by the time of the project. We made a photoshoot first, because of lack of time and I enjoyed both, shooting and painting it.
Mother sitting
Pencil and watercolour on paper, 40*60 cm. November 2011.
Another short-period work made during my “Out of Comfort Zone” project. I really enjoyed the pose that my mom agreed to hold and I felt free with the aquarelle.
Kadi holding the Mudra of Love
Oil on board, 40*50 cm. November 2011.
This is an oil-sketch of Kadi that I made during my “Out of Comfort Zone” project. Good feeling:)
Contemporary gothic apartement
Mixed media, 100*120 cm. May 2010.
This one is a course work for interior design from my 2nd course in the college. We drew lots to get one historical period and had to design an idea-project to one specific house. We had the freedom to interpret the period as we want and this is mine. I really enjoyed the process, it’s one of my favourite designs that I have created.
Interior of Arts and Crafts to Macintosh
Mixed media, 70*80 cm. January 2011.
It’s another idea-project for renovation for the society house of nature scientists. The design was inspired by the former Arts and Crafts interior and I combined it with the simplicity of Macintosh.
Born in the USA
Paper, cardboard, pen, 50*70cm. January 2011
Idea-project for painting’s design on the topic “History of USA” . The medium would be sgraffito. Spent a lot of time cutting this out of paper, but enjoyed the clean outcome and simple design.
Secco of Goya’s fresco
Secco, 60*70 cm. May 2010
This one is from my second course in college. We had a historical secco painting course and I chose Goya because I have always been somehow fascinated about his work, something overnatural, especially lighter and softer pieces:) And there’s something about me and angels…
