Everyone is sad besides me is an abstract painting, in a modern tradition. It portrays the strange feeling of being happy when people around you are sad or miserable, inside you are bubbling over with life and energy which you would like to use. Still you have to take care of the sad ones and try to help them as best as you can.

Everyone is sad besides me is an abstract painting, in a modern tradition. It portrays the strange feeling of being happy when people around you are sad or miserable, inside you have a lot of life and energy which you would like to unfold. Still you have to take care of the sad ones and help them as best as you can.

The painting is made in black, grey, pink, shades of blue, red and lilac. I have covered the mdf-board with linen, leaving a highly textured surface of linen patterns and also threads. The dark areas bring forward the light in the shapes and the surroundings, creating the intense variations. The format is approximate. There are a few millimeters difference on height and width. I can make a back frame for it, so that it can be hung onto the wall as it is. However, the painting would probably display very nicely with a silver frame. The painting can be displayed in several ways.
