I painted less during 2018-2021 focusing on different aspects of my life. Another reason was that I was living in a small room. That is why formats sized down to a simple A4 paper sheets. And during the Covid lockdown, I worked almost as a miniature artist. But gradually things improved - I moved to a bigger place and formats began to grow again.

Artist studio is where magic is happening! Over the years, I have moved and changed places several times. But I always managed to set up a painting corner, sometimes big, sometimes small. Here are photos of my studios in 2014-2016.

Every Thursday I gather random thoughts mostly about art and living as an artist. Is it a good day? I'll shout it out. If it isn't a good day I'll talk about the things I do to accept it and make the next one a good day. A creative life is joyful and rewarding but it's not easy. Join me.

Hello into the Fediverse!

Let's start with a reduction woodcut print from the archive:

"Knallfrosch" or jumping cracker in english is a four respectively three colored reduction woodcut print.

Edition of fourteen prints on recycled 120 g/qm "Coffeepaper", papersize is 36 x 67 cm.

Edition of nine prints on 3mm thick 100% polyester felt, with the size 36 x 67cm. Each print is a little bit different due to the printing process (especially the felt prints).

Every print is handnumbered and signed on the back.

Find your copy in my Etsy shop,

Cheers.

When I emphasize the slowness of my work process, I don't mean that I rest on my laurels and do nothing... /let's say it like that in English... The process is ongoing all the time; sawing the wooden bases, sanding, finishing the edges, priming with gesso, attaching the hanger and only then do we get to the actual painting. In this picture, that round birch plywood has been sanded and is waiting for the first layer of gesso to dry. I usually apply 2-3 coats of primer depending on the situation. Of course, you can do other work while it's drying... ✌️☺️🥰

Kun korostan työprosessini hitautta, en tarkoita, että lepäisin laakereillani tekemättä mitään... /sanotaankohan se noin englanniksi... Koko ajan on prosessi käynnissä; puupohjien sahaaminen, hiominen, reunojen viimeistely, pohjamaalaus gessolla, ripustuksen kiinnitys ja vasta sitten päästään itse varsinaiseen maalaamiseen. Tässä kuvassa tuo pyöreä koivuvaneri on hiottu ja se odottaa ensimmäisen gessokerroksen kuivumista. Laitan yleensä 2-3 pohjustusta tilanteen mukaan. Kuivumisaikana voi tietenkin taas tehdä muita hommia... ✌️☺️🥰
