Leena Noux

Leena Noux Art:

I'm a Finnish born (1970 in Oulu, Northern Finland) contemporary fine art painter in France, a board memeber of the local artists associaition, 100-years-old Les Artistes Orléanais.
I find my inspiration in our history of art, literature, mythology, poetry, theater, and music - in human imagination - in all it's good and it's bad.

My first touch with art and painting was the Christmas 1976; I got a book of Edvard Munch's work in my hands (it was a xmas gift to my mother) and I was so impressed, it was like a revelation, to see that something like that excists! Munch's work opened me a whole world of painting, and I knew I wanted to do the same - - - still got that book in my studio.

So I made my art oriented high school studies, and professional studies in classic and modern art both in Oulu and Helsinki, in Finland, and been doing exhibitions since 1998 - check out the exhibition list / CV.

For me the painting is an endless research of expression and parallel stories hidden in us - complex mirrors of ourselves - often with a touch of sweet, dark decadence. Because that's what we are, doing our best yet tempted sometimes by the irresistible darkness. I find that very interesting in human nature
