Welcome to my Gallery!

 

My name is Pirjo Olsson. I’m originally from Finland and after living several years in Sweden I now live in Atlanta, Georgia. My art education spans over these three countries. After taking many different kinds of art classes in Finland I continued my studies in Sweden by attending Art School for two years and learning graphic design for one year. I have continued my art education in the US by taking classes in encaustic media while developing other skills and techniques.

 

My art is a unique combination of different media. I mostly paint abstract acrylic color paintings with sizes ranging from small to very large. Some of the paintings are covered with a glasslike surface, which I have chosen to call “glazed”. I frequently work with photographs, always taken by myself, both in acrylic painting and in encaustic media; the latter being a very exciting medium, where I use organic beeswax and oil colors to create an unique surface on the pictures. My photos work as artwork by themselves, as my inspiration, or as parts of my paintings creating mixed media.

 

My inspiration comes from my everyday life, travels, nature, and from wherever my eye catches an interesting view or an appealing color combination.

 

In my Gallery you will find the different kinds of artwork by using the red key words above.

 

I hope you’ll enjoy visiting my Gallery!
