Independence Day

This painting depicts three balloons in the colors of the Estonian flag—blue, black, and white—each adorned with the image of three lions, a symbol from Estonia’s coat of arms. The balloons, representing national pride and unity, are illuminated by rays of light breaking through dark rain clouds in the sky, suggesting hope and resilience even in challenging times. In the foreground, a field of blooming cornflowers, other wildflowers, and grain embodies the Estonian landscape and the strength of its natural heritage. The painting is a celebration of Estonia’s identity, symbolizing enduring pride, heritage, and the spirit of independence.
