Animated Painter
ROYAL ANIMAL PORTRAITS Royal Animal Portraits are inspired by Dutch 17th century portraits. I painted sphynx, bulldog and frog with their favourite present. I’ve painted them with acrylics on cardboard and published as Christmas cards by Joulukorttikauppa 2016.
CATISM Acrylic paintings and prints: Elli Maanpää 2012 Catism series was my 2nd take on making the art history more animalistic. This time I shared my love for cats. I was inspired by artists I admire: Magritte, Matisse, Kahlo, Schjerfbeck and Warhol. Series was exhibited in Pori Arzz art exhibition in Generaattorigalleria in Pori and later in Runo in Tampere 2012.
