It is the necessity of making art that makes us to be more human.<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n\n\n<p>Art came into my life from my mother and grandmother. My mother worked as a visual arts teacher while she was expecting me. When she died in 2020, I realized that there would be no more paintings from her. Fortunately, her soft lines live in the pages of her sketchbooks and in paintings too. My mother went to the same school as Tom of Finland. I have recognized similarities in Laaksonen\u2019s early sketches as in my mother\u2019s drawings. They had Ester Borg as their teacher. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>I learned about colors while playing under my grandmother\u2019s loom. I even follow the color theory in my diet: I eat a lot of green, often red, sometimes yellow, and purple when I want to stimulate my creativity.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><strong>Art is not a question of age<\/strong><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>My grandmother made her best art textiles when she was over 70. While working in advertising, I decided that I would become an artist at 60.\u00a0In 2025 I had three shows, two in Helsinki and one in Turku.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In November 2023, I curated an exhibition in which I also displayed my own ink and acrylic paintings. In July 2024, I continued the sailing-related works at the AARK Archipelago residency in Korppoo. I express the feelings associated with sailing trips, such as joy, lightness, jealousy, fear and cramped conditions. Their style is surreal, colorful and childlike. <\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>In autumn 2024, I started a new series &#8217;The 19th century feminists&#8217;. In it, I deal with today&#8217;s polarizations through humor and distancing. I do not make portraits, but caricatures, generic suffragette images, in which I can oppose war without becoming a preacher. Btw April the 18th and the 29th in 2025 I had a show with 14 paintings in Helsinki. On the last day before the finissage I was asked to move those paintings to Peace Station. By choosing alternative places for my exhibits I want to see how the subjects in my paintings create new meanings.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p><\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Teen taidetta ollakseni ihminen.
