Searching for myself

I'm Tiina – a middle-aged woman, a creative soul, and an unfinished story.
My life has gone through phases where I have searched for my place in work, relationships, and my own body. The past few years have brought with them changes that have stopped me and invited me to look at myself more honestly.
Now I am at a new turning point again.
After turning 50 and facing the uncertainty of working life, I have stopped to ask myself: who am I when roles and expectations are stripped away? When performance is no longer sustainable?
At the same time, I've started to listen to myself in a new way. The longing for creativity – that quiet, authentic part of me – has surfaced stronger than it has in a long time.


My art
Painting has flowed through my life in waves – sometimes absent, sometimes strongly present. In the midst of a busy working life, I was unable to combine creativity and the business world for a long time. But art has always found its way back to me at turning points in life – when I was expecting my first child, recovering from pain, or searching for myself again. For me, painting is a way to structure feelings, time, and the inner self. I often clearly see the image I want to transfer to the canvas – its shape, rhythm, and color scheme. I paint intuitively, but the image is bright inside me. I use different techniques depending on the mood: sometimes the painting is layered and abstract, sometimes a liberating pouring technique is created. My art style changes with life. Every turning point is also reflected in the art – in the colors, movement, and transformation.
