MAIJU TIRRI

THE ART OF TIMELESS EXPRESSION 

Maiju Tirri is an internationally acclaimed contemporary artist, from Finland, living in Singapore and Spain, known for creating soulful, intricately detailed works that resonate with collectors worldwide. Her art is an exploration of movement, emotion, and the ever-changing forces of nature—woven into layers of color, texture, and depth.

From the very beginning, art was not just a passion but an instinct. At just two years old, Maiju chose the quiet halls of art museums, drawn to the power of visual storytelling. This lifelong devotion led her to earn a Bachelor of Arts in 1993 in Finland and exhibit her work in London, the Hamptons USA, Italy, France, Monaco, Gibraltar, Spain, and beyond. Today, her art is held in esteemed collections across Europe, the Middle East, and the USA.

Dividing her time between Spain and Finland, Maiju finds inspiration in the striking contrasts of these two landscapes. The Mediterranean’s vibrant energy, the intoxicating Spanish light, and the rhythmic waves of the sea contrast with the silent, frozen beauty of the Finnish archipelago, where nature’s raw power and ever-shifting colors create a unique visual language. These dual influences breathe life into her work, forming a dialogue between movement and stillness, warmth and ice, tradition and transformation.

Her latest series, A Kiss of a Tiger, draws from this deep connection to nature. Inspired by the majestic big cats—symbols of power, beauty, and vulnerability—this collection is both a celebration and a call to awareness. The layers, textures, and bold expressions in each piece reflect the duality of these creatures: their strength and fragility, their dominance and endangerment.

“As an artist, my philosophy is to search for and convey harmony and goodness through my work. My essential mission is to create powerful, positive experiences through art. My abstract expressionism captures life’s constant movement and change—merging the present with eternity.”

Maiju Tirri’s art tells stories open to endless interpretations. Her works are visual conversations between urban culture and untouched wilderness, between human emotion and the forces of nature. Strong colors, intricate layers, and exquisite details define her signature style, blending harmoniously into a timeless body of work. Continuously exploring new techniques and materials, her affinity for glass art complements the paintings she is renowned for, pushing the boundaries of artistic expression.
