Artist’s Statement

As an artist, I want to bring out joy, mystery, emotion and the beautiful harmony of colors.
I mix a little dream and fairy tale world with that reality.
I hope that my paintings make the viewer feel good and at peace.
My art often features e.g. birds, stairs, doors and tents and a touch of the Italian wind.
That enigmatic red box, which has been on my adventure boards for years, is a riddle and everyone can figure out its secret for themselves.

Leena Jääskeläinen exhibition text
My art exhibition "The wind whispered that the whole world was bathed in the sun"
The exhibition tells about how one day he was walking down the street and wanted to exclude everything bad and unpleasant. He closed his eyes and saw more.
He began to see the wind playing on the branches of the trees, laughing and smiling at the passers-by.
He saw the small branches on the ground as beautiful trees on the hills.
Seeing the birds in the trees and the hares in the parks, he stopped and understood the richness of life.
It was time to throw back, enjoy the moment and its beauty.
He continued his journey smiling and left behind color, joy and the splendor of life!
You too close your eyes and jump on the swing of the wind to the top of the golden hill.
You can see how the whole world is bathed in the sun!
