Tapio – the mysterious host of Tapiola Painting

In her art Ritva Kangasperko wants to communicate that we humans have huge amounts of potential, talents, and opportunities – much more than we can imagine. And that our connection to animals, birds and nature could be great fun if we let it. The figurative, narrative painting approach gives Ritva an unlimited number of options to show this all. Ritva’s art is about visions, images and stories that she must tell. Often based on her dreams. Ritva wants to create uplifting and fun images. Hoping to make you smile. When her artwork is whimsical, there is still a message. And there is always a story. Ritva’s process is spontaneous, intuitive, easy and free of rules. While materials and technique are important to her, her process itself is not analytical or logical. Her art comes from the heart. It is about finding new undiscovered dimensions for us and nature around us. It is about the joy of life. Her art is in private collections in France, UK, Finland, Australia and USA
