About this artwork: Classification, Techniques & Styles

Watercolor

Watercolor is a painting in which gum arabic binds transparent pigments revealing the support of the painting. The gouache, of identical composition, is opaque. A watercolor is a water-based painting on paper. We rarely speak of a painting for a work painted in watercolor. Watercolor paintings are considered to be a unique way to creatively represent dreams, illusions, emotions and luminous feelings using water soluble pigments. However, painting with watercolors can be difficult. It's a difficult medium to master, in large part because it can be ruthless and unpredictable. Mistakes are difficult to correct and its fluid nature makes it difficult to control. Yet it is these very qualities that give the medium its undeniable charm.

Technic Painting

Painting is an art form of painting on a surface by aesthetically applying colored fluids. Painters represent a very personal expression on supports such as paper, rock, canvas, wood, bark, glass, concrete and many other substrates. Work of representation or invention, painting can be naturalistic and figurative, or abstract. It can have narrative, descriptive, symbolic, spiritual, or philosophical content.

Finland

I have been drawing since childhood but the real inner artist in me was awakened when I tried oil painting at the age of 16. That's when I got a special enthusiasm for making art and enthusiastically started practising drawing and painting. Over the years, my passion for fine art and my desire to develop myself as an artist have only grown.

I'm not limited to any specific subject but since I live in Finland, where nature is all around, it inspires me. I often paint small details of nature or everyday life, animals and flowers. My painting style is precise and detailed although recently I have been striving for a freer expression. As a counterbalance to the detailed works, I sometimes make abstract paintings.

I paint mainly with watercolors and acrylics and I also use various drawing tools.

I regularly participate in group exhibitions in Finland. In recent years, some of my paintings have also been accepted for international juried watercolor exhibitions. In 2022, I had my first solo exhibition at the birthplace of the former president of Finland in Pielavesi.

Art is the elixir of life for me and I couldn't imagine living without it. I want to constantly develop as an artist and enjoy a journey of exploration in the world of art.

I have also worked as a graphic designer and made small illustrations for companies. My biggest illustration project so far has been illustrating a cat-themed children's book written by my father-in-law.

I was born and I have lived all my life in the beautiful city of Kuopio, that is surrounded by a lake.
