Mediterranean Waves (2023) Malerei von Oksana Salminen

Oksana Salminen is a professional artist, raised in Estonia, and currently lives and works between Finland and Estonia.

After taking an exam in painting, she enrolled at Tallinn Art School.
After school, Oksana pursued a full-time career in finance after studying finances and holding a master’s degree in law and later psychology. Art has always been in her mind for all these years, and her interest in it never faded. Later, Oksana attended the Fine Arts faculty at the University of Arts.

Oksana loves to travel and explore different cultures and countries. Traveling brings her a lot of positive emotions and inspiration. Historical places, art museums, and beautiful landscapes in various countries make great impressions and influence many of her artworks.

Being the daughter of a sea vessel captain, her childhood was connected with the sea, and seascapes, ocean views, and romantic sea coasts hold a special place in her heart and creativity.

In Oksana's own words:
"There are wars, famines, droughts, injustice everywhere....I paint not to ignore the world, but when I return to my safe and beautiful house, I want to paint and be surrounded by simple enjoyment, positivity, and brightness and feel secure and content.
With my art, I try to make our world a little bit more beautiful, kinder, and brighter and to bring more joy and elegance to our lives.
I create my paintings with positive energy and try to transfer it to the canvas, trying to make my paintings full of life, light, and inspiring energy."

Oksana's favorite mediums are oil, watercolor, and soft pastels. She also loves to use acrylic and mixed media in her works. Oksana’s paintings are in realism with a touch of abstraction.

Oksana's paintings are in private collections in the USA, Europe, and Asia.
