Kaisu Sirviö - Litografiet

Sirviö beskriver den litografiske prosessen som veldig spesiell. Hun finner stor glede i å male på en steinplate som kan strekke seg helt tilbake til juratiden. Overflaten av nyanser i litografisteinen skaper inntrykk av et flerfarget bilde, selv om det kun er brukt en farge. Den porøse litografisteinen gjengir fargende levende og glødende. Det er spesielt fargenes intensitet og det håndlagde inntrykket Sirviö finner så interessant med litografiet.

"Graphic artist Kaisu Sirviö’s brush touches the movements of the mind, the idea of growth. Her arabesques and twirls are as well symbols of growth as reflexions of feelings inspired by nature. Large, many-coloured stone lithographs express brilliant sensitiveness, with which the spiral meets its counter form, the movement striving up from the earth and meeting the white sky of the paper. Life begins as an initial knot of mycelium and grows freely like a field of wild flowers." Kuutti Lavonen
