The orphans


I painted this picture having been inspired by a poem from the painter Edvard Munch.
After painting the picture I realized that these two characters where showing me something from my own life. I was faraway from home and felt lonely in a foreign country. Initially they represented me and my boyfriend at the time, but when I finished the picture it seemed to me they were like two lost children in the cold night.

Material: Gouache, pastels and charcoal.

Size: 1.30 cm x 80 cm
