Oil on canvas

I’ve been making new textile based work(s) recently. Very nice to work with the material again after painting through the winter.

Hello from Minni Havas 👋

I sit at home on the couch, looking at the plastic covering stretched between the scaffolding, through which the shimmering light on the surface of the sea filters through. I’ve been working from home for the past week. Usually I’m painting in my studio, but right now I’m doing work that has to be done on a computer. At the studio I listen to music or an audiobook, at home I listen to the occasional sounds of the construction site. It feels strange to be enclosed in a “bag.” From the window I can see Korkeasaari. One evening, I think I heard a lion’s roar carry over the waves. Perhaps it, too, has awakened to spring. I long for green.

I’m working on a large textile piece that will be exhibited in a museum next spring. At this stage, the work mostly involves drawing and processing images in a knitting program. When I paint, there are far fewer balls in the air, and I notice I’m much calmer then. I’ve been making new oil paintings for the past year, and I’ll be showing them in the fall at Gallery Loisti. It is especially important to give people the opportunity to encounter a painting in space and time, in person.

 am a visual artist based in Helsinki, Finland. I hold an MFA in Fine Arts (Painting) from the Academy of Fine Arts, University of the Arts Helsinki (2024). Prior to my fine arts studies, I studied fashion design at Aalto University and worked professionally as an illustrator and print designer. My artistic practice initially focused on drawing and textile-based work, before I shifted my focus to oil painting.

In recent years, I have concentrated on oil painting, both as a medium and material research. I have done most of the oil paints that I paint with and continue to study pigments. Alongside painting, I also create ceramic sculptures, which have long been an integral part of my practice.

My background in design has shaped my ability to think spatially and manage complex visual compositions. I work fluently with various materials, and my interest in popular culture, especially fashion, often emerges in my work, anchoring the themes in the contemporary culture while connecting them with references from art history. I strive for layered expression, where the personal and the universal, different timeframes, and material dimensions intersect. While my work may deal with intimate subjects, I aim to create pieces that invite personal interpretation and resonance in others.

My paintings often explore my relationship with the world, frequently through the lens of womanhood. In recent works, I’ve explored the concept of pilgrimage. In 2025, I have focused on studio work and participated in a group exhibition. I am currently developing a new body of paintings and small sculptures, which I hope to present as a cohesive exhibition in the near future.

Selected Clients and Publications (as illustrator and designer):
