Artist

Behind Mia Liv is Miia Räisänen, a self-taught abstract artist born in Kemi, currently based in Oulu, Finland.

Since childhood, Miia has been interested in arts and painting. Her passion for abstract art was born in 2012 when she painted an abstractive painting for her sister. The friends of Miia's sister fell in love with the painting and ordered custom made paintings and so Miia´s hobby gradually became dear work. Since then, she has devoted herself to art, experimenting with different techniques and gradually honing her skills through self-learning.

Miia was surrounded by beautiful things in her childhood since her grandmother was talented in arts and crafts. Her mother is gifted as well and she is lucky to have inherited their artistic and visual way of thinking.

Miia believes that abstract art gives the freedom to create something beautiful, to explore and to find new dimensions through colours without limits. Each artwork is a personal narrative and a visual expression of Miia's thoughts and emotions.
