VALO ART - FEATURED ARTIST
JULIA KOIVUMAA -
Artist Statement -  My vision, my art speaks the vocabulary of creation and transformation.
Small droplets dance along on the water’s surface creating images,
ripples representing occurrences that become unique to that moment.
These images offer temporary reflections of the instant when the
distinction of individuality gives way to that of assimilation and unity.
This in turn creates a greater union that generates energy bounded
by a new shape and form. The bold shapes and colors evolve and
change, giving glimpses of life’s essence.
In all of my paintings, the images surround the viewer with a sense of flow, by
utilizing organic forms to create a feeling of fluidity that magnify the
natural contrasts between the shadows and light that surround us. An
endless source of inspiration for me lay in the interplay of light on,
and texture of water in its’ liquid state, as well as, the concepts of
origin and ascension.
These VALO ART limited edition giclee prints
of my original paintings are rich in quality and as close to the originals
as is possible. I hope that you enjoy viewing my images as much
as I enjoyed creating them. I believe that Art should transform and
give back to those viewing it. Enjoy!
The most important thing is to be truthful to your own expression, to
your own unique vision of life. This is something that all artists share.
The majority of my paintings are simply my optimistic interpretation,
reflection and response to life - Nothing more, nothing less. I do this
with both eyes open, through the creation of these reminders that we
are all connected to one another and with the wish to communicate
this sense of hope and light to others.
“As far as we can discern, the sole purpose of human existence is to
kindle a light in the darkness of pure being,”
- Carl Jung, Memories, Dreams and Reflections, 1992
