Meet the Artist of March!
I am a self-taught artist, born in Helsinki and currently living in the capital region. As a child, I loved drawing, painting, sculpting, and coloring more than anything! I grew up in a family that valued the arts, and from a young age, I was taken to art exhibitions at the Ateneum.
Painting is one of my ways of self-expression. When I paint, I often let intuition guide me, allowing my imagination to soar rather than planning my works in detail beforehand. Sometimes, a strong image or sensation influences my painting, and the role of music cannot be overlooked either. Nature is close to my heart, and spending time outdoors often inspires my work.
Most of my paintings are abstract, but I also create semi-abstract pieces from time to time. I love using a variety of colors, and depending on my mood, I paint both vibrant and subtle compositions. Experimenting with different techniques and colors is important to me.
I primarily work with acrylic paints, but I also incorporate other materials such as sand, alcohol ink, nail polish, or even eggshells.
They say beauty is in the eye of the beholder. I believe the same applies to abstract art—it invites viewers to create their own interpretations, giving imagination the freedom to explore what they see.
I hope my artwork evokes emotions and brings joy to those who experience it!
