Dawn in Paradice
Dawn in Paradise:
Dawn in Paradise is a spray painting, I call “Sprainting”, on canvas, iridescent finish.
Moving to California (that has 300 sunny days) from the midst of harsh, dark Finnish winter was like entering the paradise. Opening the back yard patio door to a beautiful summer morning with the sun rays from the cloudless sky streaming through the foliage of exotic plants, dew glimmering on the grass, nightingale showing off its repertoire still, after 30 years, makes me feel that way.

Engulfed Cathedral
Engulfed Cathedral:
Engulfed Cathedral is a spray painting, I call Sprainting, on canvas, iridescent finish.
As a child one of my favorite stories was the H C Andersen Little Mermaid. In the bottom of the ocean there was a cathedral, fish swimming in and through its amber windows. Listening to Claude Debysse Engulfed Cathedral I could still hear the bells ringing through the waves and revisit the enchanted playground of little Mermaid and her sisters.

Sub-Ocean Life
Sub-Ocean Life:
Sub-ocean is a spray paintings or “Sprainting” on canvas with iridescent finish. This one inspired by the exhibition at the Monterey Bay Aquarium.
While looking for images for a spray painting, I call “Spraynting”, depicting sub ocean life, I came across Life on Earth, the book, signed and dated 1980 at Owen Owen department store Coventry, England, by David Attenborough. Many of images from the book have ended up as my stylized Spraynting collection.
