EA Luhtaniemi is a Finnish-Australian Artist based in Canberra - working on Ngunnawal Land.
Her work is deeply influenced by her heritage and inspired by nature, landscapes, places and weather. She likes to explore the play of light v dark to convey mood, time or movement.
She works primarily in acrylic paint, combining different techniques with brushes, palette knife and fingers. This means that work shifts from at times feather-light, such as the depiction of soft clouds or fogs, to choppy, even harsh textures in snows, rocks, trees or grasses. No two works are the same and imperfections are part of the story.
A quietly emerging, introspective, yet professional part-time artist, EA Luhtaniemi has exhibited and sold works in both Australia and Finland.
Nordic landscapes of Finland, Norway, Iceland, Denmark and Sweden evoke a pristine and primal beauty and serenity. They can be both gentle and unforgiving.
The warm glow of a lakeside fire or a dim light from a cabin window. A cold and gently rippling freshwater lake. A coniferous forest bathed in fog. A vibrant sunset stretched out over quiet lands.
Winters of ice and snow with legions of pines, towering and waiting. Springtime dotted with flowers across melting meadows. Summers with a midnight sun and forest floor abound with berries. Autumns where white birch trees blanket the ground in golden leaves.
The semi-alpine, cool climates of Canberra where the Artist lives, hold similar evocations. As snow gums stand on frost-covered gold fields on misty mornings.
Commission Enquiries
Serious commission enquiries are accepted for review. This enables you to order a piece that suits yours tastes and sizing requirements. Things you might like to consider: colour scheme, subject matter, canvas or canvas board, shape e.g. portrait, landscape or square, and size - from larger pieces to fill a wall space, to small pieces to display on a shelf. Please keep in mind that the piece will need to be done within the scope of the Arist's body of work and style. Availability depends on many factors such as timeframe and shipping location. Not all commission requests are accepted. All commissions must enter into an agreement on price, timing and distribution. For more information, contact EA Luhtaniemi using the contact form.
