Merja Simberg
I am a painter based in Helsinki, Finland where I live and work as well. I graduated from ‘Free Art School’ in 2010. Since then, I have been focusing on abstract painting.
The Free Art School’s approach puts an great deal of emphasis on light and colour. I carry that in the creation of my art. I enjoy the working process itself. The intensity and perception of colours inspires me and allows me to create and observe how the colours move, the tensions, contrasts and depth variations. I paint several canvases on the floor one after the other and I do not stick to any certain rule.
I question humanity and try to convey and express my emotions through abstraction. The naming of my work carries a message that plays an important role for the viewer as a mean for understanding my intentions and thoughts “Painting is an adventure where I am an anxious explorer -I want to go for the unexpected!
