Christian Koivumaa

Christian Koivumaa is a passionate watercolor artist. In his studio, he continually challenges the boundaries of watercolor painting, capturing the ethereal beauty of winter and the Nordic landscape with extraordinary sensitivity and precision.

His work invites viewers on a visual journey from misty forests where light dances between birches and pines, across open countryside, to the vibrant energy of urban scenes. Christian masterfully balances fine detail with soft washes, creating a harmonious interplay between clarity and atmosphere.

The creative process often begins outdoors, where Christian photographs various environments to capture mood, composition, and light. Back in the studio, these references inform sketches and smaller studies, which culminate in the final artwork a process rooted in both experimentation and intuition.
