Laura I. Kansanen-Stavale / laikanet

I am an artist living in Helsinki, Finland. I ‘m originally a painter and now I paint digitally, with photographs.

I combine painting, photography and digital imaging. I find the merging of different methods and approaches fascinating. My artworks contain many layers both in the method of creating and in their contents.

Colour is a very important element for me. I am interested in colour and non-colour. Colour affects us in many ways; through defined and learned knowledge, culturally. I believe that a colour can also contain an immediate, direct experience.
