BEAUTY

Description

BEAUTY – to reflect the light!

A gemstone can be well hidden, and difficult to discover in nature. It is only when they are cut that their beauty truly emerges.

The front of the stone is polished, but the back is also important. It is deeper than the front and the polished surfaces act as mirrors. They allow the light that hits the stone to be reflected back through the facets on the front, and its beauty will really come into its own!

Throughout life I am honed and shaped by joys and good relationships. The negative experiences I have through sorrow and pain will also shape me. All in all, a great picture of how we, with our lives, with all our experiences, good and bad, can help reflect light, and thus also beauty!

No two stones are alike, and a gemstone also has value in itself, regardless of the cutting process. I have intrinsic value in myself, not based on what I do, but by virtue of who I am! 

THE STORY BEHIND THE LANGUAGE OF THE HEART

In 2006 I was challenged to have an exhibition, and this was the start of Hjertespråket. It eventually became over 100 different illustrations of words for themes that touch the heart and life. The metaphors were wrapped in hearts, and the images were painted on canvas with a palette knife. I experienced that the images created understanding, communicated deeply, touched hearts and functioned across languages and cultures. It was established as a separate company, I wrote texts and books, used the images in courses and teaching, created online courses and a membership portal.

They are inspired and created from a Christian perspective on life, but the metaphors work across all religious denominations. The original images are not for sale, but the images are for sale as prints in various sizes.
