Tuula Lehtinen’s paintings take us back to the Baroque era – to salons and antechambers draped in heavy folds of fabric that divide the space, conceal and reveal, creating a tension between the visible and the hidden. Her evocative reflection of space and the light that radiates with an almost luminous clarity fills the works with a mysterious and theatrical atmosphere. Lehtinen’s art is a meditation on the relationship between light and space – on the fleeting moment of illumination when light animates the painting and completes the composition in a quiet gesture of revelation.
