Pirre Toikkanen

I am an artist based in Espoo, Finland. For the past six years, I have been studying, deepening my knowledge, and becoming increasingly fascinated by pouring art. Using different techniques, such as bloom and Dutch pour, I feel I can now channel my emotions, stories, and the world around me into my art. For my bloom paintings, I create my own colours from pigments, allowing the colours to glow and the layers of paint to emerge beautifully. This autumn, alongside pouring, I have returned to exploring textures and mixed media. Every shade, every layer, is an attempt to remember beauty amidst it all. Pouring has become a significant part of my artistic practice, and I also teach the technique. I have learned from experts in the field in Australia, the United States, Canada, and the Netherlands.
