Boldly happy Painting

Expressing myself through singing from a very young age, I first grabbed the paint brush when I studied to be a professional hair artist. After a decade of mastering the art of hair painting, I started to feel a very strong urge to paint canvas as well. It started like a sweet litte whisper but the voice got stronger as the time went by and I couldn’t ignore it anymore. I felt like I just had to do it, something was waiting to come out. My beloved grandmother was an artist. I like to think that her legacy continues the journey through my hands. I create abstract art intuitively, diving deep into my inner self. Painting is the way to translate my imagination and my inner world. I consider my painting process as a intense therapy, converting my memories and emotions into something beautiful and healing. The most beautiful outcomes have become from my most painful memories and emotions. I’m not afraid to process, to sit with the thoughts and do the work. As the thoughts come to light, from my soul into the canvas, we can see the beauty of the journey. Since the energy never disappears, whether it’s good or bad, I choose to transform the energy stored in me into something nourishing and couraging. There’s always a lyrical approach when it comes to my artistry. I'm currently working as a full-time artist in my art studio in Espoo, Finland. susannapomell.com IG: @susannapomell
