Ankh-72 Painting

The story of "Ankh-72" My studio is by the sea in Tallinn. When I moved to that studio, I used to go every day to the seaside before going to my studio to paint. The beach there is quite wild and full of small stones. I've always loved to pick stones and seashells.. so the small stones and pebbles I found, found their way to my pockets and to my studio. It was just so nice to look at them and feel them. Eventually I understood it's time to paint those stones. The painting "Ankh-72" is about the fourth or fifth painting of these stones I've picked. This stone was very special though. It looked like a small cosmos in my hand, or melted layers of the earth's crust. I suspect it was a small piece of a composite of asphalt, washed and tossed around by the waves for years. While painting this stone, the work took turns of it's own though, and acquired a more cosmic feel to it. It turned into a rock floating in deep space, in darkness. For me, the stone has a strong feeling of a spaceship to it. Therefore a science fictional / mythical name "Ankh-72" came about.
