Free and alone, 2010Acrylic paint  This painting is based on a song that in my interpretation tells the story of a woman who leaves everything behind; her relationships, pets, job, car… What’s left she changes; her sheets, last name and phone number. She runs away from absolutely everything. She learns how to close up, how to avoid straight eye contact and how to spend the holidays alone. She wants to be free, free and alone. But somehow she ends up being free and lonely instead. This painting was followed by a sequel called Astronaut that’s inspired by a song with the same title. The woman keeps on running and she becomes so incredibly free and alone that her running speeds up, gravity loses all meaning and suddenly her feet are miles off the ground. She drifts in space without a destination with her only hope being she’d never come up with one or arrive there. Music inspiration: Chisu - Vapaa & Yksin (part 1), Pariisin Kevät - Astronautti (part 2) This painting was part of the Chasing Lights art exhibition in August, 2010. For sale. The story of the woman who is free and alone is remotely related to the story of the man who keeps on running. Part 1 / Part 2
