Exhibition 'Ancient Valley’ - Hotel Schloss Fellin, Viljandi, Estonia                   Aprill – September 2024

     Detailed info about paintings can be asked from hotel reception. Also : info@roosimolder.ee

First time visiting Schloss Fellin newly renovated rooms an idea came to me - some seascapes are suitable for these walls. As there are many more good spots for exhibiting paintings i did some different themes too. I adore spacious, vast landscapes. As Estonia is quite flat you can find a place vastness isn’t main theme. On hilly valley area surrounding  Viljandi one can feel the vastness for sure. This is the thing i’d like to convey on my paintings, vastness. Therefore i planned one bigger painting for this exhibition where i try to depict (imagined) Viljandi area almost ten thousand years ago. It’s a bit of a a goal. When quite recently in geological terms the ice cover  was disappeared and landscapes were more widely open. Tree coverage wasn’t the same for sure. Imagining about this time gave a headline for the exhibition – ‘Ancient Valley’ ( Urstromtal according to Wikipedia ) 

Big thanks to Viktor Siilats who kindly offered these walls for exhibition. Hotel executive managers were very helpful too.
