Tania Muhonen is Finland based artist working with both digital and traditional art platforms. Techniques vary between acrylic painting, digital art, photography, drawing, watercolors and inks to mixed media. "Love stories. People love stories. Who would not want to relate? Romance is far from an old concept." "A moment. Love. Memory. Pain. Feel. Fear. Missing. As highly sensitive person I experience all human emotions far more intensive way than the average person. Art have been the only way to cope with these strong emotions during my life. Art is the only medicine that gives me joy and happiness undependant on the current circumstances. I hope people will see and most importantly feel what I felt during painting my works". Works starting with a letter tell about relationships in her life. At product info page there are short explanations of these distinctive relations. "Of course, I understand what people may think of me. 500 paintings with love stories in them. What can I say. I am a hopeless romantic. Or an addict. I don't really know anymore." Artist finds inspiration from almost any form of art from theatre to music and from philosophy to poetry. "Inspiration can strike anywhere. Once I had to pause watching a documentary, when I saw an inspiring still -picture at the computer screen. I felt compulsive need to paint. Also, I might see a ready-made product in my mind in random places, like sitting in a train. Sounds weird, got to admit. Well, the hell with it. I am weird. I think all creative people are a bit weird.
