Carita Laukkonen

Art is an adventure for me—a call to the unknown, a chance to create worlds that cannot be seen with the natural eye. It’s about diving in, daring, and trusting the process.

I am a full time abstract artist from Finland. I was born an artist after my first child was born 12 years ago. As an artist, I am sensitive and on the other hand very brave. I feel that my courage comes from my background, at least in part.
I have a background as an extreme athlete and I am used to being goal-oriented and going really persistently forward and working a lot. When I do something, I do it to the fullest.

I work very intuitively, without much planning, jumping into the flow and seeing where it takes me. Sometimes the journey leads me quickly to a safe harbor, while other times I find myself tossed around by the wind for a long time before I reach the destination. But it's always about trusting the process, having the courage to let go.

​In the end, we can't control life, just as we can't control art. I believe art calls forth that invisible and unknown part of us, which is often scary but ultimately rewarding if we dare to take the journey.
