Nostalgia for the Water (2025) Original Oil Painting by Tarja Laine

The painting invites immersion in the elegance of a waterscape. The emphasis lies in the tensions between different organic forms and natural textures, in the relationship between the foreground and the background, as well as in the dynamic movement of water. This is realised not only by different colours, but also by the range and quality of brushstrokes. For a painter these phenomena - forms and textures - can only become visible by means of close observation, and looking ‘beyond’ the elements in nature, a process embodied in the paintings in which every brushstroke and every colour area forms a meaningful entity in the emerging whole.
