And now for something completely different: Let me introduce you Rut Bryk (1919-1999). She was a major figure in Finnish ceramic art. I’m making an exception here by introducing an artist who has already passed away, but who was also relatively well-known, at least in Finland. However, the majority of Finns may not necessarily be…
Mami Kawasaki is one of those great artists, that you can’t find too much information on from the internet. At least, not in English. A while ago I came accross a photograph that presents her standing before her artwork. I looked at the photo for quite a while. The work behind her in the photo…
When exploring artists that use minimalist expression in their work, I recently came accross with Kitty Sabatier, a french artist whose work embraces calligraphy, mixed media and subtle earthly colours.

In this section I want to pay tribute to wonderful abstract artists of different nationalities and different styles.

Now, here is something to lighten your day. I discovered this wonderful New Zealand artist, Judy Woods. She creates art that elevates. It is hilarious, beautiful and leaves you with a delightful feeling.

Patricia O’Blacks work takes over the viewer with a strong grip. Strong layering and the depths are built mostly on wooden panel. When viewing and experiencing abstract art, it has always made a strong impression on me, when a work seems as it was built by nature in a long period of time. Not by a human hand.
I came across with Lupri’s work about 4 years ago. The world was never the same for me after that. His work is beautiful but the world in them is not polished and shiny. Sometimes you could even find it brutal as it occasionally dives deep inside to the paths unknown. But in the end it leaves you with tranquile state of mind.
