"Behind the curtains" - Oil on canvas 121 x 75 cm. 2015
This picture is an extensive format painting and thus suitable for visual storytelling. Henrik Saar and his wife had decided to live separated, though they were still with each other. Only, they had each their apartment, and each their lives. There were different reactions from people around them, and their nine years old son wasn't too happy about this situation. Some of the expressive figures in the painting are inspired by his son's expressive drawings: The little family picture on the left side of my image and the prince in his castle in the middle of the artwork are sketches, made by the boy in his father's studio.
This artwork is one of the principal paintings in my series of circle compositions. It has been exhibited at several exposes, museums, and galleries in both Europe and in the US. Thus it is also featured in several Artbooks, magazines, and catalogs.
