About the Artist

Taru Jäntti (born 1961 in Helsinki) has been painting and drawing for most of her life. Her recent works are mostly aquarelles, a method that Taru finds the most appealing to her in its capability of capturing the lightness and spontainety of everyday world. In her works Taru seeks to capture the harmony and balance of light and color found in everyday views objects that surround us. Sometimes the subjects are treated naturalistically while at times they are simplified to near abstraction. This is equally evident in the series of rooftop views as well as in the still life paintings where objects are reduced into pure form and color.

The gallery contains works created during years 2009 to 2017. All the artworks are available for purchase as high-resolution downloads by request.
