The New Profile of Katja Vartiainen Visual Artist
@katja-artist
Visual artist. Married. Loves cats, Nature. Finnish, lives in DE. I created a new account cause I never got a code to change my pw for the previous one.
I have several bigger, 40-60cm square watercolor paintings in progress, layered on one on another against the wall. A bloody hassle to photograph. Here, a snippet, a part. of one. #paintingworking #wip
Work in progress. A small, blue landscape, 13 x 13cm. watercolor on paper. It's quieeeeeeeet. #bluelandscape #artwip #mindscape #quiet
It would be ridiculous to be painting any kind of landscape, and not think about the changing climate. This is called 'Icebergs and'. ALMOST DONE. watercolor on paper, 24 x 23cm. #climate #icebergs #future #lansdcapepainting #mindscape
This is probably a bit influenced by my visit in Finland. The childhood times came into mind, travels through Finland, though there are not so many hills, but the vibe, the mood. This is named 'Roads and Hills', watercolors on paper, 14 x 14cm. #roadsandhills #mindscapes #stillness #quietlandscapes
The labyrinth into the never-ending thought-like overlapping landscapes, mindscapes continues. Watercolor on paper, 15 x 15cm, 2026. #rays# mindscape #landscapes #stillness #quiet
Step by Step, 2026, watercolor on paper 24 x 24cm, as in thoughts leading from one to the next.
I had a short holiday in Helsinki, Finland! By myself, since my awesome husband stayed with out chronically ill,at the moment well doing, cat, Honey. I had a wonderful time seeing family and friends, and those I missed, next time! Also saw some art, ate berries, swam in the sea. Lovely!
