Divine Colors

Divine Colours

In the Old Testament, God directed his people to build a Tabernacle and, some centuries later, a Temple. It became later known as the Temple of Solomon. According to Exodus 26, God chose the colors and materials for decorating the Temple: blue, purple, carmine, linen, cedar, copper and gold. 

In the exhibition of the Malmitalo Gallery, I will display my first works painted with these divine colors.
Wabi-Sabi asthetics have been present in my works for a while already. In this genre, the different layers of color and phases of the painting process are visible in the final work. 

According to my knowledge, no painter has ever dealt with this theme before.

Wabi-Sabi

Wabi-Sabi is a concept used in Japanese aesthetics. It is describes as the beauty that lies in imperfection, incompleteness and transience; also it is seen as an objective to attain simplicity and modesty.
