Viljamaria Raittila Emerging artist

Viljamaria Raittila

Artist is based in: Finland

Viljamaria Raittila (b. 1996, Finland) paints elegiac scenes with grey tinted colors. The oil paintings study recurring themes of vulnerability, longing, today’s decadence, shadows, routes and translucent layers. These themes take their shape in the liminal; as well spatial as psychological. It is something in between of. Not here anymore, not there yet. The presence of imminent. Together tenderness and imminence lead to the tension characteristic of her work.
