Girl with a Pearl Earring.

This painting is created by Johannes Vermeer (1632-1675). The painting is also called "The Dutch Mona Lisa". The official tale about this painting goes like this. The model who sits in front of Vermeer was the maid of the Vermeer family. And the master himself fell in love with that girl, but his wife forced that maid to flee away because that kind of relationship is not acceptable. The story mentions that Vermeer gave that earring to that girl as a gift. And of course, that beautiful and sad story gave an innovation for the movie's plays. But the fact is that story is a myth. 

But the fact is that in the most modern theories that girl didn't even have that famous earring. When we are taking a closer look at the earring. We might see that is not even the pearl. It looks like a metal ball or maybe a droplet of mercury. And then we might look at the blue bandana that the girl wears. The blue color might mean that the thoughts of that girl are from heaven because the blue color means heaven. 

When we are looking at religious paintings. And one of them is pictured in Valamo Monastery in Finland (The Second image), we see a holy person wearing a blue toga. There is an interesting detail in that painting that was photographed in Valamo. In the place of the tree is the ghost-looking area there could be the figure that somebody tried to vanish. There could be larger Mary, the mother of Jesus creature. But that creature is wiped away for some unknown reason. The shape of that thing remains in that painting.

The blue color could mean that the person hides his identity. So the blue bandana could mean that the girl is very intelligent. And the mercury droplet means that the person who is in the image has impressive thoughts that sometimes drop to other people. The mercury droplet means that even if the person will try to hide the intelligent nature there are always dropping nice and beautiful ideas that have the price in gold.

James Marshall Tartini's dream

Picture I

Kimmo Huosionmaa


John Marshall's painting about the figure, what Italian violist and composer Giuseppe Tartini (1692-1770) claimed to see in a dream. This figure played the composition, what is known as the Devil's Sonata. This story is one of the most incredible tales about things, what people see in dreams. I think that Marshall took the image of the red-skinned devil from the medieval paintings and the story has told about the case, that one composer claimed that devil has taught one of the greatest compositions,  made to him. The story, about the devil, who sits on the bed at the next of Tartini, and played the violin, is the thing, what made Tartini very scary. One remarkable thing is, that this man remembers the dream in the morning because the memory has been shut down during the sleep.

So there were suspicious that somebody was really sitting on the bed of this composer. Many people don't even remember, what they saw while dreaming, and one thing is sure. Humans are most creative while sleeping. The reason, why memory is cut off while sleeping is that this thing releases all brain capacity for the creative work, but the thing, that we cannot remember our dreams makes the investigation of dreams very problematic. There have been used EEG-machines and another kind of systems to investigate things, what is happening during the dreams.

But those machines tell only, about the physiology of dreams. And the things, what people see while sleeping remains silent. The situation is similar than we would investigate some film, and the methods what we would use are only chemical analysis. Soon we would know exactly the chemical combinations, what was used to make that film. But the most important thing has been forgotten. What was stored in that film? When we are thinking about Tartini's relationship with dreams, also many other composers have claimed to hear their compositions in sleep. But one thing is quite interesting. How they could remember the things, what happened during sleep?

Why only one rat would get the gift?

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Above this text is the painting, what can be found from Hakaniemi subway station Helsinki, and it has a very good message for the people. The name of the artist is in the painting.  When some granny starts to feed the rat, there would be many other rats, what would like to get that food. And here we must ask, why only one of those rats would get the gift? Is that rat better than other, and if it is better, why it is better? Nice thing to think, when we are looking at the rats, who are enjoying the protection of the people. When we are thinking about the rats, we are same time think the thing, what is called as an informer.

The informer is called "the rat" in the underworld. And there are millions of detective stories, where the police are paying money for informers. When we are thinking about the gift, we must ask, what makes that person the informer, who gives information for money to the police? Why this particular person is so trusted, that the information, what is shared by this informer makes the operation possible? What is so special in those so-called trusted informers?

When I see this kind of paintings, I remember the old story, what I sometimes heard a long time ago. The name of that story was "the Girl who housed the mice". This story told about the girl, whose house and later in the body the mice made the hotbed, and as you might know, this was the vampire story from old Transylvania. In this story, the mice took the food to the girl, who lay in the coffin, and this vampire girl sent those mice for making the jobs for her. And as you might guess, the vampire slayer found that girl and killed her by using the wooden stick, what was pulled thru the heart.

This is one way to see the use of the informants. The official organization just delivers its job to the assistants and makes nothing, but when we are looking closely at that kind of arrangements would cause the situation, that official police would not make anything, but the assistance of the organization would operate very brutal way. This was the deal in Iraq during Saddam's rule. The official police worked very nice way, but the Baath party armed wing made the political pogroms possible. So the police were clean, but the assistance made many crimes in Saddam's period. The weaponized wing of the Baath party used electric shocks and another kind of torture for the political resistant of the leading party of Iraq.

"Ascent of Blessed" Hieronymus Bosch (1505-1515)

Kimmo Huosionmaa

One of the most fascinating and interesting paintings of history is painted by Hieronymus Bosch, who has painted many interesting paintings in the "Ascent of the Blessed", what the painter has been painted between 1505-1515. The painting is portraying the road to heaven, and the demons would deliver the pure persons to angels. But there are very interesting details in this painting. The space of the portrait seems like that the characters are the float in the air or in dark water, and then the characters, what seems like angels or demons would lead those persons, who otherwise would miss their path, what is not painted in this painting. The thing, what makes that painting interesting is the tube, what is the road to the brightness.

It seems to made by using concrete, and in this case, some people claims, that Bosch wanted to portrait some secret place, what looks like a concrete tube, and this has caused the thoughts in my mind, that did this remarkable artist made his work in the sewer system of his town. This means that did anyone knew actually who was the man, who called himself as Hieronymus Bosch? In that time the paintings, what this man made were really radical, and in this case, I think, that maybe for the Bosch was the best, that they didn't found in his home.

That could cause very bad things in the 16th. century. That's why I think that this man made his work in secret place, what was not in his home. And one of those places would be the sewer system of the town. There are many stories of this remarkable artist, whose fate has been left in the shadows of Leonardo da Vinci. He was remarkable visionary, but there is one thing, what is missing. That is this artists' own portrait or selfie.

Missing selfie is the thing, what is interesting because Hieronymus Bosch was the artist. and maybe he knew other artists, who would make that thing for him. Or he could make that by using a mirror. But when we are looking at this kind of questions, there is one thing, what might cause this thing. Maybe Hieronymus Bosch just couldn't paint faces for people. Maybe he was an architect or technical drawer, who could not paint people at all, and this makes this person very interesting. The thing what left Hieronymus Bosch in history without that same kind of respect, what Leonardo da Vinci is that man worked soon before the 30 years war, and this is the reason, why people are not interested his works by the same way, what made them interested about the work of Leonardo da Vinci.

Why that thing has not ever painted. There are many things, what makes this painter very interesting, and one is that in his paintings is seen many things, what belongs in the modern world. One is the diving equipment, but there are many things, what would bring me back to think about this artist, who is, in the same way, remarkable as Leonardo da Vinci. He was the man with the vision, what makes his paintings very remarkable with Leonardo.

Hieronymus Bosch "Garden of Earthly Delights"

Hieronymus Bosch: "Garden of Early Delights"

Kimmo Huosionmaa

We have seen the animal figures, what have made by this painter. The purpose of those figures is, that they are coded figures of some person, and that means, that there were the list of the animals, what was in those paintings, what is the remarkable portrait to Medieval art, and that Dutch painter has been called the "father of surrealism", and maybe that is true, but as we see, the paintings what Hieronymus Bosch made were actually quite disturbing, and there is another thing, what is remarkable.

And that is that there is no painting about this man, and he didn't sign his work, what might mean, that he was not behind those works. Or maybe he made those paintings, but there is one very interesting detail, and that is that every single detail has been made very sharp and carefully. This makes me think, are those paintings made by using many smaller paintings as the model, and then they are collected to the single painting.

Of course in the time of Hieronymus Bosch were many things different, what they are today. And if the person was blamed as the witch, the punishment would be death. This was the fate of many artists in that time. But when we are looking at those paintings, and especially the painting, what is above the text, people have seen things, like the deep submerged ball, because the ball-shaped object would be very capable for deeply submerged missions. But there are many other things and translations for those strange images, what Hieronymus Bosch have created in this painting, what is full of infernal monsters.

And also diving bells have been noticed but in fact, the dome, where is the group of people under it might also mean that there is the closed group, what don't want to tell their business for outsiders. In real life, the dome could also isolate the people, who are standing in it, that nobody who stands outside the dome can hear what they are talking together. When I'm talking about the deep diving ball, I mean the figure, where the man and woman are closed in the glass ball, what is like the fruit, what is growing in the vegetable. But one thing what is interesting is that in those paintings, there are many things, what seems very rare for that age.

In the far right, you can see the demon, who has the Falcon's head. That figure is interesting because normally falcons were marking for power and freedom. Those animals served as the royal hunting trips, and maybe sometimes they were trained to attack the enemies. But there is a man below this demon's chair. There is the ball on his head, and there is claiming, that this part of this three piece painting is portraying the thing, what is called the PFC (Poly Fluoride Carbonate) breathing system, where the person breaths the liquid carbonate, what would involve so much oxygen, that the diver can breathe that thing like in air. When the lugs are filled with that liquid, they would not sink to cave in. But as we know there might other ways to think about this painting.

Painting "Zhertva" from the hand of the artist Galina Solotomina

"Zhertva" Galina Solotonina, 1973
(Picture I)

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The Soviet painting "Zhertva" ("Sacrifice") by Galina Solotonina from the year 1973 is one very interesting picture because even if it the artist's self-portrait, there is painted the character, what can be woman or man, and that character seems to play chess in the candlelight, and character is portrayed in the point of view of the opponent player. This painting is a typical Soviet art, and that means it's technically very impressive, and the thing, what this painting would want to say, is something, what we cannot expect. That painting has the very strong message, and it's that ever underestimate your opponents. The person who might sit next to you can be actually something, what you cannot ever think about.

Even if you would see the old lady, who have ever played chess before, there could be the trap, because the gaming situation can be under the surveillance, and that person can follow the orders, what is given for that person by using radio-transmitters, and the game can be followed by cameras. Then that real player who would tell, how to move chess pieces. Or there could be all the team of those chess players for giving support for that player. Also is possible that this woman is secretly the Chessmaster. Maybe she has played before acting male player.

Or she has been trained by the Soviet chess organization secretly and then put to some big game for humiliating other players. In those cases, the plan would be that the propaganda officials would want to show, that Western players cannot win even the beginner. And that's why this lady has been brought to that chess game. If that planning would work, the other side would seem like idiota, because the lady, who have ever played chess before can win those other players. The message of this picture is that people must play their game until it ends, and nothing has been won until the other side king have been fallen.

In this painting have been captured the purpose of the Soviet people. They should serve the government. And in that country, the thing, what people must remember, was that everybody can be secret police official. Everything in the world may have purposes, what people don't even think, that they could have. In the Soviet Union.

Everything had political purposes, that meant, that there could be strange events in the most common things and one of the most remarkable things in that kind of political system is, that if some person would cause disappointment could send that person straight to prison. Chess was one thing what was important in the Soviet propaganda.

The system used also in the choosing the persons, who have the good strategical angle of view in the military command system. And once one man, named Ilya Ivanov created the idea of eugenics. In that program, the chess system would be used to making pairs with the top level chess players, who could also be very intelligent. This man had the dubious publicity by cutting dogs heads off and keeping the head alive by using cardiac lung machine, what helped to increase the lifetime of those removed heads. And this man could create the idea, that the chess system would be used for choosing extreme intelligent for the parents of the elite Soviet youngsters. But this is only the thinking about this kind of things, what might have a big role in somebody's life.

The biggest secret of the Mona Lisa is why it costs 2 billion Euros?

Mona Lisa

Kimmo Huosionmaa

The biggest mystery in the world of arts is why the painting named "Mona Lisa" is so expensive.The biggest mystery in the world of arts is why the painting named "Mona Lisa" is so expensive. In fact, there is no prize for "Mona Lisa". That value of that painting is immeasurable. But when we are talking about the prize of that painting, the prize means the insurance, what is taken for it. That prize is 2 billion Euros, but the question is about the national treasure of France, and the painting is not for sale by any prize.


When we are thinking about the history of that painting, the thing is that it's not so big or impressive, what we are normally thinking or expecting. What makes this painting so well known, is that it is so expensive. In the history is claimed, that "Mona Lisa" could be Italian noblewoman, whose name is mentioned in some documents, but in fact, we cannot be sure, was that woman really the woman, who sat as the model for that painting. The thing is, that this painting can be ordered and paid by some person, but somebody else could sit in the front of the master, who painted the painting.


One interesting theory about this painting is that the body of the character would be painted first, and in that process, the model could be anybody, who Leonardo knew. But when the faces have been painted, the model could be changed, or they were painted by using drawing. Sometimes I have thought that maybe the "Mona Lisa" is synthetic work. That means that Leonardo and some of the friends of him could play the game, where they asked each other to description the most beautiful woman, what they can imagine. And then the drawer would make that picture.


Maybe the form of the faces of Mona Lisa would created by some artist, who worked for the "night's official", what meant the Italian version of the "Men in black". That picture was given to Leonardo and then he painted this most famous painting in the world. This could be one explanation, why this painting is so special. The time, what Leonardo spent with this painting was very long. The creation process took almost 20 years, and during the life of Leonardo, that painting had no prize at all. But then the painting was found, and there are many thoughts, why it has so high prize.


The thing is that this painting has many rumors and claiming around it. And when one Italian thief stole that painting, what was found a couple of years later. There are stories, that this Italian painter worked for payment, as the hired actor. Rumors started because that poor thief would not have money and how he could explain that painting. If the painting would have insurance for 2 billion Euros, there must be something special in it.

Censorship is the best way to make something fascinating and interesting

Painting by Oleg Shuplyak

Kimmo Huosionmaa

Above of the text is the painting, what is painted by Oleg Shuplyak, and the name of this painting is "Okrilenisty, Freedom hope".  In the painting is the birdcage, where is trapped the bird. The message is that even the bird is closed to the cage, the voice would hear to the world. The symbolism of this picture cannot be denied, and that picture might be made to remember the existence of political prisoners of that state. But this painting might also make for warning other people about the traps.


The hunters use cage birds for tempting the other birds to location, and then the arresting would be done. Same way the political prisoners can be used for arrest their friends, and when they would come to visit this person, the police would arrest them, and claim that those people have brought the drugs to prison, what is the suitable reason for giving the judgment, and then authorities can claim, that those persons were so-called "real criminals".

At least Robert Lenkiewicz's paintings are able to see in the public places, and the picture above is painted by this man. It is painted in the mental hospital, and that tells, how nurses treated about the patients. But there is visible, what were routines in the institute. The problem was, that in those paintings are able to see the faces of the patients, who might be hysterical, and of course, that was not given good publicity for the institutes or the people, whose family members were in it.

That artist mainly painted about homeless and mentally ill persons, and some of his paintings are quite vulgar, but the censorship makes those paintings interesting. Censorship is the thing, what makes people find out, what is the problem with some books or paintings because they are denied form publicity. And the main question is, "is there something, what some very important person doesn't want others to know?". And what that thing could be? What is so terrifying thing, that somebody would want to put some other person in the jail or even execute that person because of some painting or writing?

Sometimes some manuscripts are prohibited because they were used as the part of the official propaganda, and that's why there could be the little bit embarrassing things, what could happen if some text would uncover as the plagiarism thing from some other manuscript. There are two types of censorship and the first one is that the officials would arrest that person, and put this poor man or woman to jail. And another is that the persons just would be assassinated. In fact, I suspect that many Finnish national romantic period artists were faced the assassination by the secret police of the Russian empire.

Many of our national artists have died the very young age and the first writer, who wrote in Finnish, Aleksis Kivi died by mental illness, what can be caused by Syphilis bacteria, what could inject him in purpose to kill. Those bacteria are easy to culture in laboratories, and because that bacteria is sexual illness, that would help keep the other people mouths closed, and the authorities would not need to ask difficult questions about the fate of those people.

The mental hospitals have always been places, where the uncomfortable political prisoners were closed.  This was meant to claim that those persons had mental problems, and that's why they didn't need courts. This methodology was used in the Soviet Union and Nazi Germany, where the ideological enemies of the government would send, and in those places were killed people, who had different opinions than the government and secret police had.  Keeping political prisoners told people, that system and its leaders were afraid something. And if the system would hate somebody, it would hate that person. This is why censorship makes things interesting.
