A play with sizes, the big Cloudberry and the little Bird King. This intriguing juxtaposition invites us to ponder the nature of greatness and the hidden strengths that can reside in the smallest of beings. Through their interactions and the challenges they face, we see that true leadership and nobility can come in unexpected forms, challenging our preconceived notions about what it means to be a ruler.
In Norway, we call Cloudberry (Rubus chamaemorus) the Queen of Marshes, or sometimes the mountain gold. This title evokes a sense of majesty and rarity, as cloudberries are not only prized for their unique flavor but also for their elusive nature. Found in the wild, often in remote and rugged landscapes, these golden jewels shine like precious stones over the marshes, capturing the attention of those who venture into their habitat.
The golden eagle soared higher than all the others in the sky, its wings spread wide as it commanded the air around it. This magnificent bird was absolutely certain that it would ascend to the throne of the avian realm, believing its size and strength would ensure its victory. However, fate had other plans, for nestled between the eagle's powerful feathers was the smallest of them all, the little Bird King. This tiny creature, often overlooked and underestimated, had cleverly hidden himself away, riding on the back of the eagle as they climbed to the highest heights. When they reached the pinnacle of the sky, it was the Bird King who emerged, not the golden eagle, to claim the title that was rightfully his.
With an orange crown perched upon his head, the little Bird King symbolized the triumph of the underestimated. His ascent to power served as a reminder that true kingship is not merely about physical stature but rather about wisdom, cunning, and the ability to seize opportunities when they arise. The audience is left to reflect on the deeper meanings of leadership, the importance of humility, and the recognition that greatness can come in many forms, often from the most unexpected places.

Amid the chaos of current events, I made a conscious decision to transition from dark, politically charged oil paintings on linen to vibrant, playful works on smaller wood panels. This shift not only reflects my desire to evoke joy but also illustrates the importance of laughter during serious times. Each wooden panel is meticulously grounded with pearl paint, creating a delicate lace-like frame around the artwork. In a world often overshadowed by turmoil, my goal is to bring smiles and light through beautiful, humorous expressions.
