RAILI JANESE
Raili Jänese creates art characterized by repetitive, simplified postures and vibrant color palettes, that are brought to life on paper, wood, and canvas. She explores both animal and human behavior in her works. Curiosity about urban wildlife has inspired multiple series and public art projects that showcase wild species from cities and suburban areas.
The pandemic has influenced her recent focus on human characters, with her latest paintings delving into themes of social formulas, self-care, and daily scenes. Her works invite you to see the extraordinary in the everyday, transforming mundane moments into the joyful tapestry of human interaction with life's little quirks.
