Päivi Mansikka-aho

The starting point for my art is the encounter between man and art. I'm already thinking in advance what kind of interaction my art could provoke. I conseptualize the art pieces in detail in my mind - after which I just try to technically achieve the work I see and experience internally. I am inspired by nature and its beauty, places and moments that are important to me. My main tools are my watercolors. More than a million postcards have been printed of my paintings and they have spread around the world. I have used also my watercolor illustrations the books I have written. In art graphics, I am particularly inspired by its interesting technical challenges: how to make the interaction of copper and corrosive acid such that a work drawn from it would ultimately look like a desired work. The purpose of my art is to bring joy, memories, comfort and beauty to life.
