VIHREÄ SERIES
2018
In summer 2018, I worked in Japan painting at different locations around the main island Honshu. The idea behind the work was an aspiration to observe and document the Japanese summer; its heat, richness and endless greenery of the nature - therefore, painting had to happen in the actual locations. I spent my days painting in parks, gardens and forests. Instead of documents, the paintings became hand-crafted memories representing not only the image, but the experience of the certain place.
Works of the series are painted outdoors with watercolor and gouache.
