About Niina
Originally from northern forests of Finland and at the moment surrounded by green hills of Wales. I graduated as a visual artist in 2011 from Lybecker Institute. I´m currently finishing my BA on children´s Book illustration. I have been drawing, creating and painting all my life and I've had several art exhibitions in Finland and abroad.
Each artwork has a story of its own. Some of my paintings were inspired by my childhood memories or by amazing myths and stories I've heard so many times and in many forms. Maybe it was the first snow or how the sky looks beautiful before thunder and scent of grass after the rain. Glimpses of experiences and dreams. Art is my answer to abstract questions.
That is why I don't want to tell too much. Things that touch me in the moment of creating might be different than what is that touches the viewer, both equally as important. Art exists so we can feel and understand things that perhaps cannot be understood otherwise. That is the silent language of art. There is always a story to find out.
