ABOUT THE ARTWORK

This painting is my take on the old madonna/whore complex many women have had to deal with. I usually use lot of symbolism (both western and eastern) in my paintings, which there's a lot of in "Malena". In finnish, the phrase "a flower and a bee" is used to describe sex. Here, I have a swarm of bees around a virgin white lily. In japanese culuture, two butterflies dancing around each other, is a symbol of marital happiness. The title comes from an Italian movie titled the same, exploring the same subject

Born and raised in Finland. After 30 years in NYC, I recently relocated back to Helsinki. I have always been a big animal and nature lover, and this is reflected in my work. I have a playful approach to my subjects and often like to add a little whimsy to my paintings.
