This Painting from the Scandinavian painter Hannalena Heiska collection, she is from Finland.
It influenced me in a profound way because it manages to cut through fantasy and a reality. The image projects a very strong northern mentality; it is dark, but mysterious. It also plays with the element of Romance and Gothicism
"The mask is a link to our spirit and soul, in today’s social rituals it can be perceived as role playing."
This image reminds me of the Winters when it was dark, and thick snow was covering every inch of the Swedish landscape. It was beautiful but still you were so scared.
In my project I am very keen to illustrate the Nordic landscape of UK, it has a beauty and bareness, but still a lot of authentic history and culture in the air.
Buildings, landscapes and nature has such strong character.
