Bio

I am Leena Katriina Ehrling (b. 1966), I graduated as a visual artist in 2016 from Saimaa University of Applied Sciences. In the fall of 2022, I started my studies at the University of Applied Arts in Public Art at the LAB University of Applied Sciences of the Institute of Design.

I live and work in Lappeenranta.

I have always drawn and painted. At times, life brought a break from work, but when I studied as a visual artist as an adult, art became a completely integral part of my life.

I haven’t consciously chosen painting, but it’s the most natural way for me to structure and perceive the world around me on a non-verbal level. I paint with both oil and acrylic. I have not consciously chosen painting, but it is the most natural way for me to structure and perceive the surrounding world on a non-verbal level. Sometimes I also work on three-dimensional readymade objects.
