Take me Home, 100x124 cm (Spain)

When I was in Hospital I was thinking about home. I asked my Angels to take me home. Half of them took me to the house where my children were waiting for me but the rest lifted me up to the eternal home next to God. I should never forget one or the other.

Dream a Little Dream With Me, 2x 66x66 cm, Spain (sold)

We all dream about the places we have never been. One day...
How does look the reality compared to the dreams? I personally enjoy my dream-travelling a lot. Those two pictures are somthing Mediterranean. Dreams can take me to the world that doesn't exist anymore or is yet to be created. No tickets needed.

El Camino Real, 32x32...28x28....25x25...24x24 cm (sold)

The glorious change of seasons is always bewitching me. Nature, the King himself, is walking on this road shearing the beauty of the journey with us.

Forbidden City 2, 70x90 cm, Spain (sold)

This picture is probably about dreams of our perfect future. The hights of power are far away and the change comes from there. From distance everything looks better but I am not sure it's a very lovely place to be. The building on my dream landscape looks a bit like the White House. My WHite House is full of good stuff. Lets hope that so is the other one.

Delux 1, 58x28 cm, Spain (sold)

All Things Grow, 113x113 cm, Spain (sold)

Together, 70x140 cm. Spain (sold)

The everyday life...we all do our things and somtimes don't call our friends for days. I think it is because we never feel alone enough. The people are out there and when we need them they became a suportive structure around us. But is it really so? Call your friend today!

The streets of little white villages in Spain in the heat of the afternoon Sun.

The Burning Bush 1, 102x102 cm (sold)

The Burning Bush 2, 102x102 cm (sold)

The Burning Bushes are about the discovery every person should make in life. Moses found he's way when God had a little conversation with him in form of a burning bush. There is the burning bush of inlightement for each one of us. We just have to be ready to recognise it. Good luck!

Outside Beauty, 137x50 cm (sold)

In the school I was a total outsider. I spent my childhood alone. When the horror of musthave education was finished I still felt that I don't fit in but there was all world on front of me and no school to stop me. The transformation is still going on: from beast to beauty.

Fruits for the Party, 132x70 cm

This painting I painted out of anticipation. I was really looking forward to a party. I don't actually remember the party but the day beafore is in this painting.

Travellers Morning, 54x100 cm (sold)

When travelling by roads one can see most wonderful pictures. I remember the early mornings after a night in the bus. Twisted body was not importent enough to take away the pleasure of a wonderful sight soon I opened my eyes. I know that William Turner also travelled a lot and was inspired by Sun and strange landscapes. The one I painted here is probably somthing he also noticed: a Romian bridge on Mediterranean coast.

"The Flight of Icaros" Iron Maiden, 110x110 cm. (not for sale)

The eternal circle from the years of experience and old age to the wings of the young ones. When the old man is triyng to call back the young Icaros he knows that he's own hart actually wants to fly to the Sun, too.

Frozen Bond, 100x55 cm (sold)

The winter in the soul...we need it. Soul needs some rest and even when it hurts it's needed to wake up for love and change. If there wouldn't be darkness how would we know about light?

"Middle of August", 75x180 cm. Estonia, Tallinn

Walking through the seasons as a traveller the fields next to the road change. The ripening crops in August fill my hart with cratitude. The smell of richness that Nature is ready to give for hard work can never be seen as clearly as at the end of Summer. (Painting inspired by a song from Anne Maasik)

Cleansing Waters, 80x180 cm (sold)

The springwaters wash away the junk I have collected. I clean my head, my studio and emotions. So, I can start again and to have an other cleanup on the next Spring.

Child of the Winter, 90x90 cm (sold)

The changing points are always a great lessons. Change of seasons shows up the real strong ones. I find it amasing that a little plant can grow through the snow and produce most wonderful manifestations of life.

15 Tomorrow, 144x100 cm

My daughter was interested how she would look as a redhead. So I painted her. I finished the painting one day beafore her birthday.
