Captured Moments, Homes, Places – Outi Kuusisto

Painting is a process for me. There is some idea, thought, or color, or sometimes, it’s just a matter of starting from somewhere. I want to make space for chance. I create many works at the same time, and therefore, I don’t plan my pieces in advance.

These paintings were created between 2005 and 2006. The feelings in my works are from after my move to Helsinki (in the summer of 2005) and from then onward.

There is wonder, chaos, nostalgia for familiar places/homes, and perhaps longing for somewhere. There are successes and failures. Work and unemployment. Living together in a shared home, being alone and together.
