Maaria Rinta-aho My name is Maaria Rinta-aho, I am a finnish self taught abstract artist working with acrylics. I pour my innermost feeling to the canvas, and let the paintbrush lead me where ever it might lead me in that particular day. I enjoy the feeling of freedom and almost childlike excitement I get everytime I start to paint. I hope my art reflects the feeling and self acceptance, inner strength and the power of intuition to the spectator.
