Buddha x 2

When in Thailand it's hard not to see Buddha statues, some bigger and more grand than others.

Here above is one from Bangkok - a truly beautiful one in gold.

And this one is beautiful too, even if it's a bit old, photo from a trip in Phuket and around.

Two ladies

Lazy and relaxed, that how I could desicribe this lady made of clay, by my mother of course. The model is sitting in a chair and maybe thinking about life.

And here you have another woman, also sitting in a chair but she is more active in her pose, the hands are behind her head.

Wich statue do you prefer?

My mother - in ceramic

This is my mother Gunvor and her sister Marie Louise in ceramic, as hildren. My mother made this one as a memory of her childhood in Finland.

So this statue made after a photo taken in Helsinki where she and her sister grew up with her father.
Her mother died after an illness at a rather young age, so they where looked after by the lovely Elsa.

Smoking statue

Smoking kills, you could end up like this!!! If you look closely you can see a lit cigarette in one hand.

The sitting man is placed at Hötorget, just outside PUB department store. The same store where Greta Garbo once worked.

A controversial statue in Stockholm

This is a statue at Östermalmstorg in Stockholm I pass every day at my job, it is made by artist Willy Gordon and it is called The meeting.

The sculpture is also called Man with a piece of meat - lying woman. And it has caused a lot of attention and controversy.

Two women

These two statues is very different - one carved in wood the other one made of metal. But my mother Gunvor had very different styles and techniques.

Here in one woman, made of wood - in one piece - that my mother found on her walks around her house.

Ande here is another one, crazy statue made of metal that my mother found after a fire. I like it!

Love - in art

These two couples is both young and really in love. One pair is kissing so much - and that's because they have been apart for a long time.

As you can se - if you have been following me for a while - that this is more art works from my mother Gunvor.

Two ceramic couples in jeans, and in love. So very much that they become one...
