About me

I’m Tiia, an artist and urbanist, originally from Finland and currently located in Brussels, Belgium. I have been creating artwork all my life – from aquarelle and oil paintings to digital illustrations, coloring books and clothing collections.

My creative process starts with the deeper motivation to offer something good for our planet in these times of multiple problems, that we as humanity should find a way to solve. We all have different qualities that we could enhance and offer for the benefit of our surroundings. I have found art and creativity as means to raise awareness as well as to direct resources to action that can enhance environmental protection and women empowerment.

I find inspiration for my creative work from the beauty of life around us – nature with its richness, oceans, urban landscapes and spaces in the city, and everyday human encounters. All with colors.

Currently I work with both watercolour and oil paints from a collective atelier situated in Forest, Brussels, and develop painting series about human perception and (extra)ordinary landscapes of life. I also conduct creativity and painting sessions for children and adults, and offer live painting sessions together with sounds, such as the session at Radio Panik. I’m taking part in different exhibitions, sell my paintings and create them on request.
