When starting to paint this work my intention was to paint a serene flower inspired by lotus - a flower that grows from the deeps and finds it way into the light. As very often, the result was something else. This painting manifests all the energy I have when working towards my goals. It visualizes the moments when I have all the confidence that things are about to turn to the right direction, making me feel invincible.

This painting was inspired by what one of my favorite authors, Ulla-Lena Lundberg has written (freely translated): "How much bitterness, rudeness and pettyness would not be born if one could have a fellow feeling with all those who share the role of a human: the unclarity in understanding the purpose of living, the constant failure in attaining it, the dreams of finding happiness, dreadful cries in the dark." Genuinely seeing fellow people is grand enough for being the mission in life, something to strive for.

For me one of the toughest thing to be learned in life has been letting go. Letting go, for example of false beliefs is however a prerequisite for adopting something new, to be able to learn something new and valuable. Many of us have experienced a fresh start - all the excitement and maybe fears attached with the situation. Growing and reaching for the new is not always the easiest path to take, but it is rewarding and worth every struggle.

Even though everything seems to be right - I have everything that is supposed to make me happy - I still might feel inexplicably unhappy. I used to feel guilty about the feeling until I realized that it is not that I wouldn't be thankful - it is rather that I pursue wrong things and end up spending most of my time doing things that do not take me to the direction I feel I needed to go. These emotions I often reflect with the nature, by walking in the forests and listening to myself.

This painting is very important to me as it reflects an era in my life that I actively started to search new direction for my life. This vision had haunted me a long time. One evening I was out on a walk and decided to take a path to the woods although it was already dark. The clouds were hanging quite low so they reflected the light from the town nearby. With that light reflecting from the clouds and snow I dared to walk deeper in the woods. I ended up on a small meadow and on the other side of that meadow I saw exactly the same spruce covered with snow that had been haunting me in my imagination. The tree was shining - it was a halting moment for me in my life. I rushed home and painted this painting alla prima.

Although it portrays a snow covered tree I encountered in a forest, it can also be perceived as a figure of a woman. I want to dedicate this painting to all women of our era. I sense very strongly that we are entering an era of feminine power - an era of caring of each other and genuine will to work together for a better world.

The vision for this painting was born on one of my walks in the forest in the mid-spring. Fresh greens and the shades of green. Shadows of the early evening. During this time I very often visualized a kind of path in almost each of my paintings. This was an era in my life I sub-consciously realized that I should be actively seeking my path in this life. Hence, I very often ended up searching private space, room for my thinking, and urged to be alone.
