The old house has the spirit of the old house. What kind of life was lived and experienced in the house. And the house has seen it all and was a kind of refuge in the waves of life. They say that an old house is only on loan. After us, someone else follows, but before that it is our responsibility to take care of it.
The things in the house tell us about ourselves, our values and our everyday life. What would grandmother's old lamp or the inherited armchair say if they could speak? Why do leaves look like hearts? In the room there is a quiet gentleness and compassion for us humans. How beautiful is the light that falls on the room? What delicacies we enjoy during a nice conversation. And what did the room experience when one person met another person?
Teija Kosenius is a Finnish, self-taught artist who paints what is important to her. Recurring themes are interiors, children's motifs and old houses. Her paintings of interiors will be exhibited at the Pleiku Gallery in Berlin from November 5th to 16th, 2024.***Something old, something new, something borrowed, something blue
