ART AND ALITAJUNTA ATELJEE

“Some decorate walls. I start discussions.

My paintings are born from emotion rather than plans. I rarely know who they are when I begin. They slowly reveal themselves as I paint.

I am drawn to the moment before perfection. The brushstroke that still breathes. The line that trembles. The expression that feels more human because it is not overexplained. I would rather leave a painting with a beating heart than polish away the very thing that made it alive.

Some portraits make people laugh. Some make them uncomfortable. Some quietly follow you home and refuse to leave your mind.

If a painting makes you feel something before you understand it, it has already done its job.”

Jutta Kuure

You can explore my full collection of original paintings at Alitajunta Ateljee in Porvoo Old Town (Välikatu 5). A growing selection will also be available in our online store soon. I also accept selected commissions. I am currently working on a large private commission for a collector in the Hollywood Hills.
