About

My name is Elise Perttula and I am the artist behind these works. I live and work in Espoo and in my studio in Lohja, in Finland.

Painting has fascinated me since childhood, and in addition to my engineering studies, I also studied for a master's degree in art at the University of Applied Arts.

I love strong colors and the energy they give off. My grandparents had a market garden and I have spent a lot of time in my childhood in my grandmother's flower greenhouse playing, observing and admiring. I still remember the spectrum of colors and the intoxicating smell that embraced me right at the door.

In my paintings, I want to paint color, joy and happiness, to find hope and light even in the darkest subjects. Inspiration is often found in nature; colors, smells and emotions. I live in the Nordic country, where summer barely lasts 3 months and the rest of the time is dark and cold. That is also a reason why I want to paint summer meadows, blooming wild flowers and landscapes. In my paintings, I want to capture these passing, rich and colorful moments, so that they can continue to live on the canvases without withering and being swept away.
