Description
Five figures gather at the edge of a dark pine forest, its treetops caught in the last light of a September sunset. They dance, pray, and speak in hushed tones, present yet apart from the human world.
Inspired by the Finnish epic Kalevala, these are the daughters of Tuoni and Tuonetar: Loviatar, Kalma, Kivutar, Kiputyttö, and Vammatar. Not villains, but forces bound to their roles within a natural and mythological order. Their garments dissolve into the forest - the greens of moss and conifer, the warm, almost blood-like glow of the fading sun.
The work is less an illustration than an atmosphere - a meditation on predetermination, the limits of human agency, and the forces that shape existence beyond our comprehension.
PLEASE KINDLY NOTE:
- the colors in life may slightly vary from the photo due to lighting sources or monitor settings.
- the parcel will be sent from Finland. Should the delivery address be outside the EU, the recipient may need to declare the painting and pay some local VAT and customs duties.
Presentation
Tania Potapenko is a contemporary figurative artist based in Helsinki, Finland. Her work explores the emotional layers of human experience beneath composed exteriors, focusing on moments of inner tension, doubt, and vulnerability expressed through portraiture.
Working primarily with oil and acrylic paint, she also engages with printmaking to expand her artistic language. Trained in academic art during her adolescence, Tania later pursued a career in corporate finance before returning to painting through BFA studies, private programs, and workshops. Her work is exhibited in Finland and is held in private collections across Europe and the United States.
