'Heartbeat' is a figurative painting by contemporary artist Elli Maanpää inspired by the "La Danse" painting by Matisse.

HEARTBEAT
Acrylic on canvas || 100 cm x 120 cm ||  2024
In the painting "Heartbeat", the dancer taps her foot to the rhythm of lively music. Her red dance costume harmonizes with the swaying of her ponytail.
When "Heartbeat" is hung beside the painting ”Sunlit”, they together form a heart. Both dancers' hands are raised upward, creating a receptive bowl for the whispers of the world.
Although the paintings stand alone, I would prefer to sell them together. They would be particularly suitable for decorating spaces such as hotels or restaurants, where sunlight spreads warmth to many hearts. Please email me elli (at) maanpaa.com if you're interested in purchasing both at a discounted price.
The artwork is on display in the window of my studio at Ikkunagalleria Elli in the "Dialog: La Danse" art exhibition from March 7th to April 28th, 2024. Address: Mechelininkatu 13, Helsinki. Next to the Favela restaurant.
