Deeper than the Surface

An exhibition of oil paintings by Pori-based artist Leena Passilahti opens at the Poriginal Gallery. In Passilahti’s works, the starting point is light. The layering technique in her paintings reflects her approach to delving into the world of inner light.

The subject of the oil paintings is an organic network, with the rose as the primary element. However, the rose is not vibrant but merely an opening to light or hidden within a network.

The artwork is completely covered yet also transparent. Light shines through the layers and cracks – an idea about the residue of life that we accumulate within, concealing our emotions. Due to various fears, we hide behind masks.
