Double chapel of Schwarzrheindorf, Germany.
mural paintings, 12th century
There it is! My part of the big mural painting in Rovaniemi Aittatie underpass. For a long time I wondered how this kind of big wall paintings are made, and now I think I’m a tiny bit wiser in the matter.
There were 6 other artist who also participated, each with their own piece of art. Check out more of the artists and the project in @mimmitpeinttaa (Instagram) account! So grateful to have been part of the team!

Why Be Happy When You Could Be Normal? by Jeanette Winterson / Faded Mural in Essaouira
Creative work bridges time because the energy of art is not time-bound. If it were we should have no interest in the art of the past, except as history or documentary. But our interest in art is our interest in ourselves, both now and always. Here and forever. There is a sense of the human spirit as always existing. This makes our own death bearable. Life + art is a boisterous communion/communication with the dead. It is a boxing match with time. I like the line in T. S. Eliot’s Four Quartets - ‘that which is only living/Can only die’. That’s time’s arrow, the flight from womb to tomb. But life is more than an arrow.
