HUS landscapes

During the winter 2017-18 I painted 8 landscapes for the Helsinki University Hospital; HUS. With paintings the hospital wanted to documentate some of its’ surrounndigs, before they would disappear under the new buildings. With water and ink I made six landscapes on site at Meilahti and later two more at my studio, using photgraphs of already gone views.
I prefer painting and drawing straight out of perception. The schedule of the construction works drove me to paint during the winter, which is a refreshing challenge of its own. I also spend a lot of time at the cafe’s and waiting areas of the hospital, working on my paintings – meeting people at an exciting times of their lives. The hospital area felt like a little village inside of a city.
