I'm a graphic designer from Finland who teaches using computers in designing, and whose favourite areas are vector graphics and typography and painting as well digitally as with traditional methods. - All said in one sentence...
I read a lot, I smoke a lot --- I'm not anymore young, beautiful and slim;-)BIOI graduated at Helsinki University some 20 years ago as M.A. - main subjects philosophy, aesthetics and Finnish language and Finnish literature. As a philosopher;-) I couldn't have a permanent job... I have been a teacher in many places; teaching both children and adults.
I am a self-made graphic designer and computer aided designing teacher. My very best interest lies - besides the pictures - on typography, in theory and in practise. I work as a free lancer.
I have the home page of my own - but unfortunately they are all in Finnish. But the adress is not a secret: www.valt.helsinki.fi/blogs/titta
All my studying materials are there - I teach quite a lot at Helsinki University.
Personal life: I live with my big black dog, Kirppu (in English "a flea") in Helsinki.

Fine painting!

Love the brushes in her hair... Great job...
WeeLaddie
Gives a whole new meaning to the concept of a hairbrush. Her hair seems to be as thick with paint as Van Gogh's palette. An excellent portrait.
mystmaiden
wonderful!

What a fantastic idea using paintbrushes as barrettes. Excellent and expressive painting. :-D
martingeorg
How long does it take to place the barrettes every day Titta, looks complex ;o) What a funny and wonderful idea with the brushes in the hair ... I love it!

Which artist is this, then? :-) It's hard to judge a portrait without knowing how the person looks in real life, but I have a feeling that this not only looks like you, but has your character impressed into the canvas. Lovely concept, Titta. :-)
Synapse
This is a self-portrait isn't it Titta? Or at least it looks a lot like you to me :-) A great interpretation of yourself as an artist, with a very thoughtful expression. Very well done hugs :-)
Digimon
Oh my dear! You have outdone yourself!!! Fantastic!!! An instant favorite!!
titta
Thank you all so much! There are some questions made, and I try to answer. yes, this is a self-portrait. At Martin and others too: it's not complicated at all to put the brushes like that! :-) WeeLaddie : I should have titled this portrait as Hairbrushes, shouldn'i I? I'm so happy and grateful for your comments! Thank you again! and again! :-)

You captured a certain look of the artist in deep concentration, or maybe it is focus while transferring the image in the mind onto the canvas. The eyes draw me in. I love the brushes in the hair so much. Serves 2 purposes, keeps the brush within easy reach, and keeps her hair out of her face. Great idea! Excellent painting, and beautiful style Titta.

Magnificent artwork Titia! Bravo, and so wonderful to see your 2D work! I'm away visiting Son & Grandson until 7/27 so contact will be limited! ;) Modem at family's home - Yuck!
rudiruth
It puts a smile on my face because I can identify so much with this one, feeling lost without my brushes and colors :)))
DawnStar
This is soooo good! The hair, the skin, the eyes...It's all so great. One of the most artistic, yet realistic portraits I've seen in ages!
meico
Oh excellent - not just for the technical skills in giving form [as opposed to shape] to the head, but also for the restrained expressive power of the piece. And for the wry humour - mustn't forget that! This seems wholly authentic, and I believe in her. She has [btw] lovely eyes and a pretty mouth. All-in-all a painting to cherish. Mike
Elcet
Very nice and expressive! Simply excellent work, much enjoyable!
