Alisa Lehtinen

About

Alisa Lehtinen (b. 1997) is a self-taught painter from Finland, now based in Bristol, UK. Working primarily in acrylic and oil, her practice explores the darker in between moments.

Statement

My work lives in the in-between. I'm drawn to contradiction: stillness that carries weight, softness that hides an edge, quiet that somehow reads as loud. Working in dark, muted tones across still life, self-portraiture, and figurative painting (and sometimes landscape), I aim to create a piece where the subject can feel both familiar and slightly unreachable, almost like a dream or a memory. Personally, I've spent a lot of my life caught between spaces, and painting is how that stops feeling like a problem to solve. Instead of trying to find my place in the world, painting has become a way of centring the in-between itself, letting it be the place I work from rather than something to avoid.
