Verden vågner - World Rise, Järvilinna

Som kunstner og forfatter kan du få et arbejdsophold og jeg arbejdede derfor hele juli måned i Finland. Det var dejligt at komme væk fra Danmark især fordi jeg blev stalket af mange mænd på det tidspunkt. Alvoren kan nok ses i mine billeder. Der var mange ting at tænke over og tage stilling til på denne første rejse til Finland så den var virkelig nødvendig og gavnlig for mig selv og min kunst. Finnerne er søde og imødekommende og rigtig mange er gode til engelsk. Opholdet har medført at jeg holdt en sommerudstilling på Järvilinna kunstcenter under opholdet og skal tilbage for at udstille mere. Det har også givet mig nogle kunstneriske kontakter her i Finland som jeg kan bruge. Under opholdet malede jeg disse billeder der blev udstillet til Sommerudstillingen, men jeg arbejdede også på glas og lavede en bronceskulptur. Farverne har jeg fundet ved at studere midnatssolen og motivet er omgivelserne og de badende i søen. Du kan se serien på denne side.

In the summer of 2019, I was working throughout Finland on a stay / residency in the art center Järvilinna together with a writing friend. Järvilinna is an area in Finland - yes, almost a park - where many Finnish artists live and work with their art. It is owned by a fund. There are such 3 places in Finland. The old manor house Järvilinna is located in Leppävesi, Laukaa, in a picturesque lake landscape. 

As an artist and writer, you can have a work stay and I therefore worked in Finland all July. It was great to get away from Denmark especially because I was stalked by many men at that time. The seriousness can probably be seen in my pictures. There were many things to think about and consider on this first trip to Finland so it was really necessary and beneficial for myself and my art. The finders are sweet and welcoming and many are good at English. The stay has meant that I held a summer exhibition at  Järvilinna Artcenter during the stay and will go back to exhibit more. It has also given me some artistic contacts here in Finland that I can use.

During the stay I painted these pictures I exhibited in summerexhibition, but I also worked on glass and made a bronze sculpture. You can see the series in this page.
