Artist Statement

Color, texture, and shape are the core of Pirjo’s current paintings. The lines, repetition, texture, and geometric forms that are found in the familiar textiles at home inspire her paintings. She is interested in space, time, and rhythm. Her paintings reflect the common experiences of a daily life where the basic structure is predictable and repeats itself, however, in its own interesting way everyday is different and brings pleasant surprises. Similarly, all her paintings follow the same general pattern, yet, they all become unique and surprising.

 

Being abstract in nature, her paintings typically raise emotions and feelings originating from the observer. They are tactile and they beckon you to touch them. They take you to another world, the world of paint. These paintings are plain and simple: colors, contrasts, and lines. They are easy to relate to but still they remain mysterious and intriguing. These are the rhythms of the little worlds, your own experiences, and your own space.
