Ellinor Aiki "Lilled"

Ellinor Aiki was able to paint herself firmly into the Estonian art history in spite of impediments. A serious illness threatened to terminate for good the hopes to become an artist, but in the year 1936 she successfully graduated from the "Pallas" studies at Nikolai Triik. During the war Aiki escaped to Germany, but returned from there a couple of years later. This in its turn was followed by a decade long internal exile and deletion from the list of the Artists' Association. It was only possible for Aiki to expose at exhibitions in the final stage of her life.
"Flowers on a pale white background" originates from the artist's most well-known creative period, from the 1960ies. The artist dips the brush into the colour in recognizable Ellinor Aik - style and covers the canvas with dots. Gradually rise extremely bright colour knolls and the whole painting starts to resemble more and more a raised landscape. Optimism, which almost reaches naivism, effects us especially strongly at the background of the artist's fate.
