“THE BIRTHDAY PARTY”, 43 x 30 cm, 2025, Acrylic on canvas
This was created for Miriam Beichert's solo FLICKER in Copenhagen. About the works for the exhibition, the artist states: "In this body of work, I focus on three recurring motifs: candles, fences, and clocks. These are everyday objects, but they carry symbolic meaning—a kind of mundane beauty and atmosphere that keeps drawing me back to them. Candles stand for impermanence. They are lit, burn for a while, and eventually go out. They act as symbols. These images appear again and again in my paintings because of what they suggest: a sense of time passing, and the quiet, poetic side of ordinary things. I approach painting the way one might recall a memory - not everything is clear or realistic. Some parts are more defined, others remain blurry or incomplete. I’m more interested in creating an atmosphere than depicting a detailed scene. Shapes and fragments emerge and develop intuitively, often by picking up a form and letting it grow on the canvas. Sometimes the work leans toward abstraction, sometimes it stays closer to figuration - but always in a way that leaves space open. I create paintings that feel like glimpses of a memory, a mood, or a moment that’s hard to capture fully. It’s less about telling a story and more about evoking a feeling or association."
