THE SENSUALITY OF THE SEA


HAVE YOU CONSIDERED HOW SIMILAR THE SOUL OF THE SEA AND THAT OF A WOMAN IS?

Aili Vint: My concept is to create a perception of a new reality, onIe that is not actually real and not perceivable to the eye. It is intended to be a story of the Sea as a living entity. I feel, therefore, that my three "genres" (marine paintings, guash paintings and sensual graphics) should be displayed with equal emphasis. Then it will be possible to experience the exhibit like a story, about the soul of the Sea. Even a novel, which the pictures all together tell about unbearable powerful beauty of the quintessential nature. Then it is possible to experience each exhibit as a story of marine life, what my pics talk about when they get together.

through those images I tell the story of the sensuality of the Sea

Aili Vint: When contemplating the sensuousness of nature as expressed in the Sea's psyche, one can see the invisible connect between nature and our senses. Therefore, there is a subtle between my seascapes, my sensual abstracts, depictions of the female form. Through those images I tell the story of the sensuality of the Sea.


THE SOUL OF THE SEA

Aili Vint: I am the woman, who has hopelessly fallen in love the Sea. How does one paint a portrait of ones secret love? — As I start seeing the details that fascinate me in a given mood of the Sea, they are gone in the next moment.

I paint the Sea until I find his Soul. At first glance, meeting the Sea and its mood, the Soul cannot be seen until it shows its true face while painting. I won't release any of my marine paintings from the studio until he has become dear to me..Then I have found the Soul of the Sea and drawing it on paper.This is why I do not want to separate them. The Sea and its Soul belong together like the Sea and the Wind.

KAS OLETE MÄRGANUD, KUI SARNASED ON MERE JA NAISE HINGED

Aili Vint: Minu kontseptsioon on luua ettekujutus uuest reaalsusest, mis ei ole tegelikult reaalne ja ei ole silmaga tajutav. See on mõeldud jutustamiseks merest kui elusolendist. Seetõttu leian, et nii minu meremaalid, guashmaalid kui ka sensuaalne graafika peaksid olema eksponeeritud koos ja võrdse rõhuasetusega. Siis on võimalik kogeda igat eksponaati kui lugu Mere elust. Isegi romaani, millest mu pildid kokku saades jutustavad.

nende piltidega jutustan ma lugusid mere meelelisusest

Aili Vint: Mõtiskledes Mere psüühikas väljenduva sensuaalsuse üle, võib näha nähtamatut seost looduse ja inimese meelte vahel. Seetõttu saab ka minu merevaadete maalimine ja naisekeha kujutamine koos peenema tähenduse. Nende piltidega jutustan ma lugusid mere meelelisusest. Kui vaadata valminud digi-kollaaže, siis on näha, mida mu meremaalid ja meeleline graafika kokku saades jutustavad looduse olemusest. Tema talumatult võimsast ilust ja haardest..

MERI JA TEMA HING

Aili Vint: Esmapilgul Mere ja tema meeleoluga kohtudes, ei näe Mere hinge enne, kui ta näitab maalimise ajal oma tõelist palet. Ma ei anna ühtegi oma meremaali ateljeest enne välja, kuni olen tema Hinge leidnud ja selle paberile joonistanud. Ja sellepäast ei tahaks ma neid lahutada. Ikka koos, Meri ja tema Hing,, nad kuuluvad ühte nagu Meri ja Tuul.

Estonian Art Museum invites visitors to walk through a forest of art history and sees to it that the walk is a meandering journey, taking museum-goers from main paths to enjoyable side trails which have not yet been fully assessed and categorised in art history. In inviting the artists, the curator considered their creative profiles with the aim of involving different media.

Several invited artists made the initial choice of pieces of interest based on the electronic museum database MuIS and the digital collection of the Art Museum of Estonia, which was followed by actual work with the collection. The works of art on exhibit cover the period from the 17th to the 21st centuries.
