Artist Statement

I have always drawn. My Bachelor´s degree on Fashion Design and studies of Graphic Designer have also impacted and strengthen my Voice.

I paint with an acrylic-technique I like to call ”ink stain test”-method. The process produces art through my hands, that often describes Finnish and Northern soulscape and mythology. Every painting has a meaningful story to it. I sign my paintings with my maiden name “Korhonen” , because I feel it honors my blood inheritance.

My art fulfills it´s Meaning when it resonates with the Viewer`s soul and gives the inner abstract a feeling, form and name. That for me is the most wondrous feeling!
