“Love is Hard”
𝐕𝐢𝐢𝐯𝐢 𝐒𝐚𝐢𝐤𝐤𝐨𝐧𝐞𝐧 describes her art as follows:
“I want to better understand this world and the beautiful people in it. By getting to know myself and different ways of thinking, my understanding begins to develop. As a contrast to all the seriousness in this world, I believe we need sprinkles of irony and colours in order to survive. My works are experiences shown through contrasts which ask the viewer to question, listen, think and perhaps smile a little.”
“For long I thought I didn’t know how to dance at parties. I copied others movements and felt awkward. At somepoint I realized I wasn’t the only one. Often it felt like at parties that there was a big crowd full of copies of each other.”
