Artist Statement
Original alcohol ink painting on synthetic paper.
Ink. Color. Nature.
Three things I’m truly passionate about.
Creating makes me feel fully alive. When I paint and there is only silence as I watch my inks move on paper, I'm somehow more. I'm bigger, stronger, lighter. I fly. Airbrush, straws and even only my own breath are part of a personal design that sets my creations apart.
When I start painting, I rarely have a plan. I let my intuition guide the colors and what I paint. I paint flowers as I see emotions. My paintings hold many meanings. Sometimes they radiate a cold and latent violence. Other times, disconcerting beauty emerges. Moments depicted exist only to punctuate human drama in order to clarify our existence and find poetic meaning in everyday life.
I aspire to create intense personal moments, defined by omissions, acceptance and refusal.

Artist Profile
Born: 1980
Hometown: Hämeenlinna
Based in: Elimäki
Satu Heikkilä is alcohol ink artist living and working in Elimäki, Finland. Nature is a close and important part of her life and she finds her inspiration from nature’s beauty.
For Satu, art has always been a way to express herself. She was 9 years old when a local artist introduced the world of painting to her and she hasn’t stopped painting since. She used to paint with oils and acrylics but in early 2019, she found alcohol inks and they soon became her favourite media.
Satu’s works have been exhibited in Finland and Miami, USA and her paintings can be found in private collections in Europe and USA.
