STATEMENT
Paula Suominen is interested in natural light and colours. Her artworks are born from observations and strong momentary impressions of nature. Suominen’s paintings live in the cross-section of abstract and figurative painting. In her drawings her lines are seeking a connection with organic nature. Femininity and the age-old connection to nature are recurrent themes in her artworks. Suominen primarily works with oil paints, charcoal and trencadis mosaics, as well as water soluble colours in her murals.
