Impressionism
Pastel: Fire Angel in the Room of the Forest (2009)
Fire Angel in the Room of the Forest / Metsänhuoneen palava enkeli (2009), color pastels, 29×41 cm.
This is one of my personal favorite works. It features the Sprite of Spring – this time in a bit more human-like feminine form. I’ve tried to re-imagine this scene later but sometimes you cannot replicate an inspired moment.
Themes of this impressionistic pastel drawing are nature and rebirth. The composition was originally inspired by Edgar Degas’ Dancer in Front of a Window (circa 1874). I’ve moved the scene into a much more abstract expression and replaced the dancer with my own personal motif and symbol of life and love the Springbringer. A flower that awakes everything.
Pastel: Dolphin’s Singing in My Dream (2009)
Color pastels, 42×30 cm. I draw mostly in black and white but when I do color I love to draw with the color pastels. Color pencils are great too.
There is also an early 2000s ambient song called Dolphin in My Dream by me.
Pastel: Black Unicorn (2009)
Color pastels, 42×30 cm. From the post-apocalyptic world of Soulweaver.
Here is more about the film this dark scene is based on.
