Päivi Kukkasniemi - Water colours 12.5. - 30.5.2010
Galleria BE´19Surrender
There is a colour at first, a tempting and seductive colour. Then another colour begins to tempt. All that is needed are brush, colour, paper, water, moment, silence and surrender. I paint points, lines, surfaces without any limitations, conducted by desires and temptations. – The painting takes over and tells me what must be done. And life starts to be reflected on the paper.

Kyösti Pärkinen - Paintings 21.4-09.05.2010
Galleria BE`19The paintings of Kyösti Pärkinen, loosely based on observing the nature and photographs, include references to landscape like states, which are formed by colour and light. The works have, side by side, reduced geometry easily conceived as common urbanism and structures and forms referring to nature´s basic elements and phenomena.
The mutual contrasts of the traces of painting can be considered analogies and studies of different concepts of painting. The figurative parts of the paintings are cumulative on the physical elements of the art works.
The memories and documents of perceptions have become contemplative layers of artefacts studying the painting and ways of observing.

Kirsi TERVO - Paintings 31.3. – 18.4.2010
Times painted for revisitingKirsi Tervo very often paints unities, where the whole is more than the sum of its parts. There may be diptychs, triptychcs, quadtychs etc. consisting of individual parts, though every part belongs essentially to the unity. The paintings base on abstract colourism and at first give the sense of harmony. Observing the nature is also apparent.

MAIJA HELIN-ÅVALL - Paintings
Galleria BE´19ABOUT PAINTING
Italy has had a powerful influence in my artistic work. During my travels there I have experienced how the past and modern times meet, how the wall coats reveal underlying layers marked by the periods of time, how the worn, decaying surfaces tell you about living, and how all that creates an atmosphere of peace and silence.
Mixed media is mainly my painting method. I use acrylic, charcoal, sand etc. The textures vary from light watercolours to thick, sometimes almost relief-like constructions.

URSULA KIANTO - paintings
STATE OF MIND – STATE OF SPACEThe layer by layer composed paintings of Ursula Kianto are inspired by reflections, images and associations. – One layer leaves some separate fragment on the painting, the next layer brings another to its side, and little by little the painting manifests itself.
The completed painting, in most cases, is an abstract state of mind, a spacious scenery, where – in the middle of desolation and silence – appears to be nature and buildings. Opposing to the paintings´ tranquility are the joyful and happy colours, which actually seem to be holding back their playfulness.
The exhibition works are oil paintings completed in Italy and Finland.

Rauni Sipilä - Paintings
There are no precise plans, when I start to work on a new painting. To work on a painting is a process during which numerable choices are made. Some of them prove to be wrong tracks, the others bring to the right direction.When the painting is completed – it is vital to become aware of the moment – it possesses the feeling of that very moment, but also the earlier moments and layers, which have been building up the work.
In the works of this exhibition I have more than ever tried to get far away from all distinct outer impulses and visual references.

LAURINEN, ELINA - Paintings
A human being as a subject of a painting has always interested me. Likewise oil is interesting as the material, as well as the traditional way of painting. At present I am keen on a fairly realistic expression.Memories turn into paintings, in which important, in addition to the portrayed person, is the feeling.
While painting I sometimes move so far away from the original situation, that I realize to have created a new, invented memory, which the painting is telling about. In the exhibition there are numerous images of persons, who do not actually exist in reality, but undoubtedly a part of the paintings are self portraits or portraits.

Pilar Cólas - Paintings
The Moment BetweenThe lines in my works are like roads meeting each other constantly and usually having a cyclic course. The intersections and knots are creating a moment between a dream and timeless memory. It is the moment where images and characters from our subconscious mind, like old eyes, old hair, free birds or the protective lion within us, are coming out and embracing each other in roots and branches.
The recomposition of the “moment” is giving life to my dreams and also memories that branch out of the same land.
Un momento entre...
Si las lineas son caminos... En mis cuadros estos caminos se cruzan constantemente y tienen un rumbo cíclico. Las intersecciones y nudos crean un momento entre el sueño y la memoria sin tiempo, donde imágenes y personajes del subconsciente aparecen como el viejo ojo, el pelo viejo, el pájaro libre o el león protector dentro de no...Entrelazándose de raíz a rama.
La recomposición del «momento» le da vida ramificada a mis sueños y recuerdos dentro de una misma tierra.

Paula Tella - Scratch
These works were taken by camera obscura, a camera, which I made out of cardboard boxes. The negatives were developed in the darkroom and exposed of a long time.The personal need for slowness and the yearning for nature influenced on my choosing the camera obscura method. Camera obscura method also allows connecting the low tech and the slow tech, which is important to me, without any technology groan.
I also was attracted by the idea of working “blindly” – to set the camera obscura box somewhere on the landscape, let the box photograph while the “photographer” sits beside and gives a chance to the box. At the same time nature gets the chance, too.
The camera obscura method, the marks and scratches it leaves and the long exposure are drawing visible something that otherwise were not noticeable to the eye.

Maria Lavonen - Paintings
To Maria Lavonen drawing is the fundamental method in all her art.At present she is very keen on studying, how the light focuses on different motifs. How the colour, the direction and the strength of light determine the look of the motif. - How the motif looks and how it really is, are two different things. Her aim is to capture on the canvas or paper, the image of how the motif looks like at a certain moment, on a certain light.

Irina Havaste - Visible Silence
Since I graduated from the Free Art School in 2008 the subject of my paintings have been plants and different forms of nature. My interest has now also turned towards water and it´s surface. The way it ripples, it´s abstract image and how plants and light are reflected upon the surface of the water.Often the starting point of my paintings is something you can recognize, a three dimensional form, plants or water, for example. At the same time I am interested in and fascinated by the two dimensional surface of the painting and the line of paint itself, the play of paint on canvas.
