Kaj Ard works from his studio in a seaside town in Southern Finland. He applies paint intuitively, layers upon layers, until instinctively arriving at a desirable result. He wants every work to bear the imprint of its history – each layer of paint adds a new chapter, inviting a dialogue with the previous one, until a holistic story unfolds. The creative process involves a balance between intuitive mark-making and careful deliberation. Inspiration is drawn from natural structures as well as marks we leave behind us.

Kaj Ard has exhibited both in Finland and abroad, and his paintings are included in various collections.
