I am very enthusiastic about the new sugar-water technique, which I use with acrylic paint, a stick, water, and ink. In the work, the color starts to spread and does what it wants... it's very interesting. My latest works feature two people; they are perhaps a kind of encounter. The works with many people relate to delusions, to the feeling of many people being at home, which can be frightening.\u003c\/span\u003e\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Pertin Valinta","offers":[{"title":"Default Title","offer_id":53624211210573,"sku":null,"price":500.0,"currency_code":"EUR","in_stock":true}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/0035\/5178\/9156\/files\/Kaksihahmoa3.jpg?v=1774864646"}],"url":"https:\/\/pertinvalinta.fi\/en\/collections\/kohtaamisia-1.oembed","provider":"Pertin Valinta","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
