The M/S Estonia disaster, the old article in The European newspaper and new investigations now in 2021...

In 2014 I wrote the article below: The artist Catharina Burevik and the M/S Estonia disaster. But now some new investigation has started as they have found some rips in the ship wreck. They are now going to take a lot of photos and make a model of the wreck. 

Maybe somebody is now interested in the old article below.


Margareta Catharina Burevik, 1957 - 28th September, 1994. 

This article is from ''The European'' newspaper on 17-23 in October, 1996 with the title: ''An artist's last pictures before her death in the Baltic maritime disaster seem an eerie premonition of her fate.''

These great drawings, drawn before she herself died in the M/S Estonia disaster, must at least to me hint about the fact that some must have known already before about the possibility of this disaster... How could see draw this kind of pictures in case she didn't have some hints about the possible disaster?

Some investigations have hinted that this might have been the case... In that case what was this disaster about and who made it happen and why???


 
 
 
 
 
 

Some people in Italy did have some project about the M/S Estonia disaster. They collected all possible information about people who have been or might have been on the M/S Estonian when the disaster took place. But now it seems this blog is not easily available any more.

However, I found a new similar blog, maybe kept of the same persons.

I have often been thinking about Catharina Burevik. It is not impossible I have met Catharina Burevik somewhere in Stockholm in real life in case she has been drawing there during her lifetime. 

Does anyone know where more of her works could be found? Might someone be interested in putting more of her works into my blog? Does someone know if she already had some exhibitions somewhere and in that case when and where? Some articles written about her? What studies in art might she have attended? What kind of works did she do - drawings only or does somebody know something about her paintings? What material did she use? Is it possible someone might be interested in having some exhibition of her art-work somewhere in the near future in case more of her art-work could be found - or has somebody already done that job? Tallinn? Stockholm? Helsinki? Other places? Is there anybody else than me this much interested in Catharina Burevik and her art?

Sometimes maybe around 1975 I was myself on a ferry of SiljaLine between Christmas Days and The New Year. Then something broken in the front of the ferry. The Captain didn't dare to drive the ferry to Stockholm but turned and game back to Helsinki in order not to be forced to drive against the wind and let the ferry maybe broke. Who knows, that might have ended in some other way in case the Captain had not made his decision to return to the place of that departure from Helsinki. Does anybody remember this? Who else were there then?

I was cleaning my corners and found even this...

This was among the old paintings I was just going to throw away... However, I couldn't as I found this    somewhat interesting, but I don't know why. And I have no idea how I have made this, but it seems I have painted it on some other old painting. It's in oil.

This makes me think of blood and some train attacked by some terrorist so I call it a Terrorized train.

Experiment two: Funny faces - two on a paper...

Faces / portraits to be painted with nice colors... 

Guess how these are made?

If you want you can send me some photos / selfies of yourself, your family members or some friends and I draw you pictures (portraits?) for free.  I can draw several pictures of you on a paper or alternatively some two or three persons on a paper.

If you want then you can paint them with nice colors (acrylic, pastels or water colors) by yourself... These are easy to copy on some better paper. I can tell you how to do it. 

You don't need make up for the photos, but it is nice if you have some fancy hairdo, haircut or coiffure on the picture...

I need material to practice portraits... I just cannot draw all the time everything from my imagination...

Color and Paint With Me! ISBN 978-952-94-4866-1/ 9-789529-448661...

ISBN 978-952-94-4866-1 / 9-789529-448661 - VERY STRANGE WITH TWO DIFFERENT... Ask Karkkila painopalvelu in Finland... this firm has printed this thing...                                                                                                                                   
36 pictures to work with:  24 interior pictures and 12 portrait pictures.                                                                                                                 

                                                                    

                                                        

The meaning of this booklet of 36 pages is to inspire you to color and paint as it is often so difficult to think what to draw, color and paint. It contains almost readymade drawings for you to work with. If you don't want to paint you can just color the pictures with nice colors with or without lines, thick or thin. It is not to avoid you need even to draw.  

There are deficiencies of many kind in the pictures and the meaning is you make something nice of them - for example there are no pictures in the paintings on the walls, no flowers in flowerpots or fruits in the bowls. Draw and paint your own pictures and plan your own flowers and fruits etc where ever you like. 

You may find out what to do to the portrait pictures when you get your own booklet. You can also make some tiny portraits to the pictures on the walls in the interior pictures if you don't prefer e. g. some houses, cars or boats maybe easier to draw.

I opened my old Rowney oil color paint tubes...

It is about 30 years since I used my Rowney oil color paints. When I opened the tubes most of the colors were very dry and it was almost impossible to open the corks. So I cooked the tubes in hot water. After that I was able to open the corks and the colors became more running. They seem not gone spoiled... It is possible to paint with them! Now I must be in a hurry to use them all as soon as possible...  

And now I am also forced to change the trademark as somebody told just Rowney paints are not manufactured any more... All good things seem to disappear sooner or later... But I have liked the Rowney artist color paints the most! What do I have to use instead? 

And now I have to paint at least until I have used all these old Rowney paint tubes instead of letting them go spoiled! 

What a mess in my box! I had to take a photo of these Rowney tubes soon only history!

People made selfies already tens of years ago...

One possibility was to make selfies in some tivoli, maybe in Copenhagen... There were big painted figures without heads behind which you had to put your face and a photos were taken. 

Guess how I have made these drawings of mine?
