The painting is called August, which could mean either August (as a month) or the name of the character in the painting. In a lush garden, a wild-looking figure peeks out from behind a plant. Is it a gardener, a fairy or a garden spirit, driven wild by summer?
The painting, made with acrylic paints on canvas, is based on a photograph from the archives of the Helsinki City Museum. The painting has been on display at the Gallery Corridor of the Kaisaniemi Greenhouses exhibition.
