Kristiina Uusitalo - Landskapet

Kristiina Uusitalo har en lang karriere som kunstner. Motivet i hennes arbeider er landskapet. Selv om de fleste arbeidene til Kristiina Uusitalo forestiller landskap, så er de slettes ikke figurative kopier av det tradisjonelle landskapet. De har alle et abstrakt preg og viser gjerme til et indre landskap av drømmer og visjoner.
