Pia Jarvinen

Pia Järvinen is a Finnish, UK-based abstract artist. She studied art in Finland, at Valkeakoski Art School, and found her creative home in abstract art using acrylic paints as her main medium. Her painting style is expressive with bold brush strokes and vivid colours.  Pia creates fantasy soulscapes with rich layers and draws inspiration and parallels from natural elements. 
​
Pia is interested in investigating our true nature and invites the viewer to the direct path to happiness with her paintings. Her work originates from peace and manifests as joyful explorations of the self. Her paintings come to exist from a state of awe and innocence.

I explore the playground where there is no right or wrong. Frolicking outside the box. I want to give the viewer the opportunity and permission to let their imagination make their
unrestricted journey with my work. ​This is why I am particularly passionate about abstract art. My paintings are invitations, and they allow the mind to have rest from any preconceptions and interpretations. There are no rules here.
