Liisa Viima creates aesthetically beautiful inspirational art that transmits an immediate healing energy for the viewer. Her enlightened expressions originate from a wellspring of authenticity and convey her desire to share joyful and empowering messages of resilience, triumph, and hope.
One of Liisa’s many admirable attributes is her creative versatility to reveal aspects of nature and the human experience. She integrates elements from different styles and infuses her art with gestural mark-making, luscious, layered textures, and rhythmic lines to heighten visual and emotive interpretation. She has mastered a tactile balance of spontaneity and precision, contrast, and harmony.
Liisa also excels as a mixed media artist. For her “Lines of Life” collection she provides a wide range of visual delights by combining acrylic and oil paint, modeling paste, and archival quality gold and silver metal powder and metal leaf. The paintings in this review are from that series.
“Agassio” is a painting of her beloved horse and celebrates the special bond she has with her animal. She captured its noble, powerful posture and gentle spirit with soft shading, smooth rendering and transparent overlays. This painting exudes a highly dimensional quality and delivers a precious experience for all equestrian lovers.
Liisa creates stunning narratives using symbolism that transport us to new realms. She is a superb storyteller as portrayed in her allegorical painting “Godgifu” (Lady Godiva) that pays homage to the woman who was propelled by humanitarianism. The exquisite juxtaposition of figure and horse is animated with bold colors, lively brushstrokes, and lyrical abstract forms to accentuate power, courage, and passion.
“Annabell.Thornibirds” is an enchanting, whimsical and also profound painting inspired by the Legend of the Thornbird. In her multi-faceted, inimitable style Liisa has interpreted the story with colorful virtuosity, tactile surfaces, and touches of symbolism, poetry and drama.
