The painting is inspired by the idea of “living in the sky”; mentally or physically. The surreal composition depicts three woodcut windows in bas relief, represented in the same way as the ethereal landscape in the background.

Windows; often used as a home’s frame towards the sky, here are physically floating in the sky – like on an airplane view. A visual metaphor depicting the poetry inherent in the image of living in the sky.

Inspired by the surrealist master Rene Magritte, and his fascination for the absurd and the unexpected, the painting works as a visual enigma between the real and the imaginary.

The floating windows, blurring the spatial boundaries between inside and outside convey a sense of universality, capturing the essence of the sky as a universal place with no boundaries or borders, belonging to no one and shared by all.
