For Tiina Elina Nurminen, painting is a way of preserving moments and memories. She spends long hours with her paintings, listening to them with a sensitive ear, following their guidance, allowing them to lead the way as her gentle lines meander across the canvas, capturing moments and encounters that are meaningful to the artist. Nurminen’s paintings portray everyday scenes and moments spent in nature, drawing inspiration from the colors she sees and the emotions she feels.
