Eliis Kuusk

Eliis Kuusk has studied film at the London College of Communication and digital effects at the National Film and Television School in London. Returning to Estonia, she has focused more on painting. Her style focuses on movement and bright colors using rough brush strokes and melting and blending figures into otherworldly characters.
"Coming from a film profession, movement, rhythm and time have always fascinated me. I try to convey these same attributes in this painting series," says the artist.

Someone who walks in their sleep is referred to as kuutõbine, translating to ‘moonsick’. The night and moon have a very important role in Estonian mythology, as that was the time when spirits came out, rituals were performed and when the traveling part of the human soul (irdhing) was most active.

The red summer Moon combined with the ancient story of eclipses being caused by snakes eating the Moon. However, the snakes would only be visible through a reflection in a bucket of water.
