Place to be by Sirena Nieminen

‘​Place to be​’ is an experimental painting process, in which the journey is more important than the final artefact. The main thing was to paint mostly blindfolded, to get deeper in touch with paper and paint to forget rationalisation and overthinking. I mind-travelled to the places and freedom of my childhood to let go of the stress and control of adult-me.

My aim was to find more ways to express myself as a person and an artist. During this current situation of worldwide lockdown I wanted to concentrate on self-care in the form of meditative painting to cope with the situation.
