“Let my artwork immerse you in a universe of multidimensional exploration of portraiture of a woman, where the subject and content invite you to see beyond the frame—both literally and metaphorically—revealing hidden, even delicate truths brought to light.”
Meiju Väisänen
portraiture
In these fashion-inspired portrait paintings, I highlight specific details of a person’s appearance. By omitting the subject's gaze and using unconventional compositions, the surface colors and interplay of shapes take center stage, transforming figurative art into almost abstract visual landscapes.

marriage
In my watercolor paintings, I have explored the theme of marriage from a woman's perspective, including its traditions, taboos, and the imagery associated with it. In my recent paintings, I have explored the phenomenon of child brides. I examine how child brides can be represented in art and what kinds of meanings and responses such imagery evokes in a viewer.
