About The Artwork
In this Nordic landscape the growth season is short. Emerging from winter, my gardens are a miracle of thousands of irises, poppies, lilies, peonies, hostas, ferns and plants native to Canada that inspire and fuel my paintings. I seek to capture the energy, and the vibrancy of colors that overwhelmingly fill one’s senses. Amidst this rich palette of floral colours, a series of paintings grew from a small overlooked sunflower. Growing under a mammoth shade tree her perseverance produced offspring which grew unchecked into a tangled Van Gogh-like mess of summer splendour. One reflects that within such chaos rests a natural order, a reshaping of space. Nature offers a launching point from where I move forward. A rapidly executed gesture drawing capturing the essential linear elements of the composition is recorded. Working quickly, I paint, using a range of cool colors, establishing the vegetation shapes. The background is painted in warm tones creating an effect of the sun filtering through the lush foliage. While gazing upon this painting, feel that you are transported to a late summer afternoon filled with the flutter of butterfly wings and the rich fragrances of nature that inspires and enriches one’s soul.

Kaija Savinainen is a professional artist whose studio is near Canada’s capital, Ottawa. She earned her Fine Art degree from the University of Lethbridge, Alberta, Canada, taught by an inspiring group of professors originally from the US, and UK who built that exemplary program. There, she excelled at painting, printmaking and drawing and received several studio awards and a faculty commission. She graduated with Great Distinction and was awarded the President’s Gold Medal. Her Nordic ancestral roots have given her a strong affinity for the environment. Her paintings offer insights into nature’s vulnerability but also, it’s aesthetic beauty. As she states, “Through my art I stimulate the viewer’s sense of where we are going with what nature has bestowed upon us. Nature needs our respect, and care more than ever these days”. Savinainen belongs to The Ten Collective, a group of artists who exhibit annually to rave review in the Ottawa area and online. Her works have been purchased by several universities, and the Alberta Art Foundation, and are in private collections in USA, Canada, Japan, and Europe.
