Oil, alkyd and beeswax on linen Two pansies bloom side by side, their vibrant centers transformed into burning candle flames. I draw inspiration from the way the heart of a pansy glows like a flicker of fire — delicate yet radiant. The flames nestled within the petals suggest both life and transience, warmth and vanishing light. The title, For Now, but Not for Long, speaks to the ephemeral nature of flowers, but also of human relationships — beauty and closeness that, like candlelight, are bright yet fleeting. 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.
