Painting with coal from the Baltic Sea

Creativity fuels my passion, drawing boundless inspiration from the beauty of nature. Whether wandering through lush forests, exploring serene gardens, or simply basking in the tranquility of the great outdoors, I feel an intrinsic connection to the world around me.

My love for painting extends to using natural materials, which I source directly from the earth – rocks, mushrooms, flowers, and other organic elements. There’s an immense satisfaction in transforming these treasures into artworks that mirror the beauty and harmony of the natural world.
With each stroke of my brush, I celebrate the earth’s limitless creativity, infusing every piece with my heart and soul.

Through my art, I aspire to ignite an appreciation for nature’s wonders and encourage others to find joy in its ever-changing beauty.
I firmly believe that surrounding ourselves with nature, whether in our homes or spending time in gardens, parks, by the sea, or in the mountains, fosters a deeper connection to our planet.

This connection reduces the likelihood of ignorance towards the earth’s needs, fostering a greater sense of responsibility towards environmental stewardship.

This painting is inspired by birds and flying experiences that have had a lot in my dreams and birds that also are a frequent symbol in my dream time.

I used coal that my dad found in the Baltic Sea. Why was it in there? Probably they fell out of a cargo ship. Also, there are charcoal and wood ashes from my house, sand from nearby woodlands, some flower tinctures, and red granite from Hiiumaa Island.
