Melancholic progress i, 2018

In the elements of paintings some elements characteristic for Estonia can be noticed. Both paintings show the Nordic architecture in combination with beautiful landscapes, forest and plants. The motif of a swimming pool is used to express the progress of the country using water as a metaphore.
