2026 163 x 117 x 5 cm in oak frames Acrylics on canvas "No Permission Needed" was painted for Kevätmessut Trendikoti, with color inspiration from Tikkurila Color Now 2026. Very different color pallet from what I'm used to, but I love challenges! This one is all soft, quiet and confident power. Blush pink and misty grey-blue, orange and light olive. It’s airy, but it’s not fragile. Empowering abstract art that doesn’t need to prove anything to anyone. To me, this painting is about the moment you stop waiting to be chosen. You choose yourself. Not dramatically. Just clearly. You don't need permissions to live a life you're happy with and proud of. If you’re building a life that looks like you, this is the kind of original abstract painting that quietly supports that. It has space, it has light, it's not overpowering but also not boring. It's very one of a kind. There is a sister painting titled "Between the Lines". They work separately or as a colorful abstract diptych.
