Saila Seppo finnish technological naive art

Описание: Today I have the pleasure of introducing Finnish artist Saila Seppo, she was born in Kouvola but moved to Sastamala at the age of 1 or 2.
She studied in Espoo and currently live in Helsinki from a long time.
She worked at the Kemira factory in Pori and has worked and continues to work for the Research Council of Finland.
She is a member of the Helsinki Art Association, Espoo Art, and the Finnish Artists' Association.
Saila is undoubtedly a multifaceted artist, and for her, the most important thing in art is the ability to create a new, diverse, and colorful work of art.
Daughter of a greengrocer, she began creating flower bouquets as a child, and thus understands the importance of colors and their combinations.
Saila holds a PhD in chemistry and a degree in technology, and thanks to these studies, she has a deep understanding of materials and pigments. This offers her a wide range of artistic possibilities, which she translates into her works, which closely resemble naive art, but in this case, I would say technological.
Curiosity has accompanied her throughout her life and has been a sort of common thread that has followed her on all her travels, which have seen her reach and visit 47 countries!
For Saila, experiencing cultural differences is enriching, and being constantly on the move can only fuel creativity towards generating new ideas and inventions.
Throughout her artistic journey, Saila has never remained in a comfort zone through her travels, but rather has continually challenged herself, creating well-rounded art and even publishing four books, with a fifth soon to be released.
In the past, she has presented her technological inventions to Marimekko's head of design. Regretting that she didn't have an open position as an artist, she encouraged her to organize an art exhibition, considering Saila's works to be pure art.
And so it was, Saila followed the path indicated to her and began organizing several solo exhibitions with the aim of offering the public the opportunity to enjoy them.
The spark that starts the process of creating a new work has always been the most important moment, followed by the execution, which can take a long time but not always, and the gradual development of the idea, which must transform into an engaging work, capable of repeatedly attracting the viewer's attention, repeatedly conveying important moods such as playfulness, joy, calm, nature, and unity.
Thanks to her research, Saila created Sisusavi®, a material developed from natural ingredients that works well with all types of dyes, giving paintings a vivid surface and vibrant colors.
Sisusavi® is a soft, water-based, moldable mass that can be colored with pigments or vegetable dyes and hardens at room temperature through water evaporation.
Sisusavi® is a natural microcellulose material that contains no clay or plastic dyes, and the mass reproduces even the smallest details.
This product, entirely developed by Saila, is available for sale on Greenbutton.fi.
The paste is also used in watercolor art, and casein or glue can help the paste adhere to paper or fabric; Saila uses glue.
Saila collects wild plants and has cultivated marigolds, for example, to isolate their color in an aqueous solution, which is stored in bottles and used as a color in some of her works.
Speaking of curiosity, some of Saila's paintings, in which she has used food coloring, become edible, much to the delight of children in particular.
More information about Saila can be found on her social media pages, Instagram and Facebook, and on her website, sailaseppoart.fi, where you can also find her works for sale.
