Winter in Estonia

 Oil on Canvas.
Alone in the dark, this painting changes colours as light hits it differently, and from changing angles. Perspective on winter and solitude depends on the light you shine on it.

Summer in Estonia

 

Oil on wood.

A rye field, with rukkilill (Estonia's national flower), and poppyseed, where a swallow (Estonia's national bird) rests.

The heat and blossom of Estonian summer are represented by the warm colours of the field and the contrasting flowers. The swallow reminds us of the shortness and beauty of the summer. Filled with national symbols of Estonia, this painting is a praise to the motherland of the artist.

Rangoli

Rangoli is an art form originating in India, in which patterns are created on the floor or a tabletop using materials such as powdered limestone, red ochre, dry rice flour, coloured sand, quartz powder, flower petals, and coloured rocks. Rangoli are usually made during Diwali or Tihar, Onam, Pongal, Sankranthi and other Hindu festivals in the Indian subcontinent, and are most often made during Diwali. Designs are passed from one generation to the next, keeping both the art form and the tradition alive. I made this Rangoli in November 2015 using edible products only.
