A letter from the artist
Well hello there!
I am Paula Huhtanen, an artist. I wanted to write this letter to you, and now that I finally did, it’s wonderful that it reached you! I don’t believe our lives are steered by coincidence. Guided by the forces of life, art and emotion, we were meant to meet each other on this page. Your letter will reach me through this page, as well!
It is probably no secret to you that I want to color the whole world. My dream is to do that together with others, art and artistry are team efforts to me. Our world could be a better place to live, and community art projects can help that dream come true.
As a visual artist I breathe the fire of life into everyday objects, turning them into durable, unique art objects. I am working on a tribe of happy objects, and the work of art I’d create for you will join this nation of art objects by birthright.
My painting technique is based on dimensionality, large ensembles and tiny
details, lines, arcs and dots, translucent and jewel-like elastic colors. I paint on soft and hard materials alike, and create art from, e.g., furniture, appliances, machines, tools, clothes, accessories and vehicles. My art can transform an airplane or chainsaw as well as a high heel or a judge’s gavel.
My suggestion to you is: let’s create something together! It would be great to beat to the rhythm of shared inspiration, to channel art into responding to our needs and dreams. My experience of colors as energies will tune our creative
possibilities to new frequencies. Trust in the palette of JOYISM and let’s use art to influence your own, your environment’s, and your group or collective’s…

I feel that our freedom of choice lies at the core of times like these. It makes me happy to be part of remixing different competences and needs, solving
challenges and creating something new.
With creativity we never need give up.
I await your response.
Joyfully yours,
Paula
