Marileea Järnefelt

I am a Finnish artist living and working in Finland and exhibiting internationally. My works have touched people of all ages and nationalities. Nature is the source of my inspiration and all my paintings are born from a natural experience. Painting as walking in the forest is very empowering. A forest is my temple where I listen to my thoughts and feelings which I then transfer into my paintings. Each work contains reflections of my life. Common to all my paintings is the optimistic attitude towards life and what it has to offer. The ability to stop and see the beauty in everyday life and seize opportunities are the keys to happiness, and that is what I wish to communicate also to the viewers of my paintings.
