Self-Portrait "47. Love for the World, a Gaze into the Grey-Blue Sky", 2025

This portrait is a stop in time, a tender and calm look at a moment when the years are rushing by, but the heart remains open to the world. Against the backdrop of a soft, grey-blue sky — a reflection of the northern sea and a cloudy day — the protagonist peeks out from a fluffy hood with little bear ears. This cozy, almost fairy-tale element contrasts with the depth and serenity of the gaze, which is directed straight at the viewer. This is a manifesto of tenderness and acceptance: the acceptance of one's age, the cloudy weather, and the unconditional love for every moment of life. A painting about quiet happiness during a walk along the seashore.
