Tuija Lepo: Pylpyröitä ja puhalluksia

The paintings were made to delight; the most important thing has been the fun of making them, and often chance has also played a part in how the works came into being. Depending on the viewer's mood, one may see lace stockings, wind swirls, flower fields or storms in the paintings – art made for one's own joy is always guided by a playful imagination and a colour palette that suits one's own eye. ”I make art with acrylic paints and markers using the ITE method. ITE means self-made (one's own kind of) life and entirely self-made art; methods arise through making. I encourage everyone to rejoice in colours in their own life too, and to boldly step outside the box with a brush or paint cup in hand. All kinds of art are wonderful to make without pressure – and to take joy in one's creations with the pride of creating.”
