Outi Hägg explores the cycle of nature in her paintings. She does not paint nature as it is, but rather the images that the surrounding nature awakens within her. The finished work is a mystery to her, like life itself. This is how the artist describes her work: “I’m interested in transformation, which is present in nature all the time. Death liberates and makes room for the new. In the same way, the transformation is repeated over and over again in the painting process. When I paint, something flows through me and is transferred through the bodily movement into the images. Working is a series of small births and deaths, both in the paintings and in myself.” The exhibition features both oil and acrylic paintings. The nature of the works is determined by the painting medium used. Oil paint in combination with cold wax is a slow, enigmatic and surprising way of working. Acrylic painting, on the other hand, allows for rapid changes and experimentation. The techniques express the artist’s emotions and thus complement each other well.Outi Hägg is a Doctor of Philosophy (Education), textile designer and designer in whose life art has always been a travel companion both at work and in free time. In recent years, her paintings have been exhibited in several exhibitions.Until the end of March, Nature House Villa Elfvik is open Mon–Fri 9:00–15:00 and Sun 10:00–16:00.
