Something Like a Landscape /2022, oil on canvas, 120 x 190 cm/ has three layers, overlapping images, evolving ideas and reactions. The landscape part of the title could reflects a certain part of the environment both internal and external. The bottommost layer of the painting is a randomly selected old black and white photo from my mother's archive. As I started the painting I had a completely different plan than what turend out. It was supposed to be an exploration of a different time. But at a certain point I decided to cover it and paint over it a pink elementary school located at the edge of a forest. Then the war began as Russia attacked Ukraine. That was something hard for me to fathom. So for the topmost layer I used found images from the internet. The last image added is the figure on the right is from a photograph by Robert Capa of a man being shot in the head.
