Satu’s Story: How to celebrate yourself with a timeless, symbolic and immemorable gift
Some months after the portrait was delivered, I asked her is she was willing to answer a few questions.
Through Satu’s conversation, you’ll learn more about how I work with clients who commission an Emotion Portrait™. It’s a unique process that begins with an interview, and ends with a one-of-a-kind piece of art that embodies the personality of the gift recipient whether yourself or someone else.
Why did you decide to commission an emotion portrait™?
We discussed the intention of the portrait, reviewed the overall process and at the end of the conversation, I knew it was a great fit to work together. When I asked her why she decided to commission an emotion portrait, her answer was straightforward:
“It sounded like an interesting idea and a way to remember this point in my life later on.”
And when I asked her if she had already commissioned an art piece. She responded right away:
“No. Because I was lacking in imagination!” She is too modest 😉
Can you describe the process from your side?
Of course for me, this is the start of a very special voyage. Sensations and emotions are doors to the creation process but I always wonder how it is for the customer so I let Satu describe the process from her side.
“It was like removing all the waste products from my brain. Therapeutic even, getting rid of negative experiences and putting those in the portrait and maybe even getting closure.”
About the moment of the process she remembered the most, she said.
“It was interesting to see how you, as the artist, tried to capture the moments through my feelings and sensations so you could come back to it while making the portrait.”
Before we have a look at Satu’s Emotion Portrait, one last question about art collection.
Purchasing an art piece can be very intimidating. I understand. Especially a painting. Let’s see how Satu approaches it.
How do you choose your art pieces?
Maybe having something to look at every day is an emotionally more rewarding investment than money in the bank/ shares in a company, I do consider the more expensive paintings also as investments.”
In other words, she follows her instinct. Let’s see if it works!
And now you wonder how does the portrait look like and which one she took??
“My portrait is about leaving all the rubbish behind and making a nice canter into the future.
They are esthetically pleasing and nice to look at but also I think about the experience of washing my brain of all the waste!”
As for me, I really enjoyed working on Satu’s portrait. Her world is larger than the universe.
There is so much power combined with a sense of vulnerability that is quite special.
