"The watcher" oil on wood, H51 x W40.5 cm Painting

My name is Tania, alias ARTMOODS TP, and I am a figurative art artist based in Helsinki/Finland. I'm working with portraiture and emotionally compelling figurative compositions, primarily in traditional media, but also digitally. I am interested in humans as individuals, and in my art I am especially studying those who are at the crossroads in their life. I find it captivating to observe how people face difficult questions, break out of old paradigms, find reasonings, make conclusions, reflect on life around and react in challenging situations. Behind a scanty body language and externally calm behavior, there is sometimes a chaotic labor of confronting thoughts, which one can notice in the eyes, face muscles tension and stiff posture. I find it very therapeutic also for myself to impersonate with a subject on a painting. Probably in the end, my art is all about my own inner arguments and I look to connect through it to the like-souled audience out there.
