« Organs & limbs » Heart III

Description

A friend of mine works in a pharmaceutical company and she ask me once… Karenina would you like to have the top of the containers of the barrels where we keep medicament’s to paint something? I have a tendency to love recycling stuff and make artwork out of it, so I said YES immediately, even if I had no idea what I want to do with it. I thought I will keep it in my studio until I know what to do, but the first moment I saw them I knew exactly what to do…Organs & Limbs… Like most of my work everything has a double meaning or is dual and in this case was so obvious… medicament’s….to cure to prevent to make you even more ill, whatever they do, they are hand in hand with our body. I thought it was funny to paint organs in a medicament box, like a paradox. I was using many layers of Japanese rice paper, oil and ink to create a deep subtle image, just like our body, our container, full of secrets and extremely beautiful. It is possible to hang the painting with out frame.
