Dew, 2024
30 x 30 cm
Oil, alkyd and beeswax on linen The painting ultimately found its name in the quiet poetry of dew, as moisture settled on the flower’s petals in delicate droplets. The weeping eye within the blossom echoes those summer mornings spent tending graveside flowers, when I imagined the dew gliding along the petals to be the flower’s silent tears. The work has been in the Kuvan Kevät MFA Show as part of my series of ten paintings. The series of works was exhibited from 7 May to 15 June 2025 at the Kuva/Tila gallery of the Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki.
