Aliisa Hyslop

Aliisa Hyslop was born in 1957 of Finnish / Scottish parents.

She studied at Portsmouth College of Art, gaining a B.A. Hons in Fine Art in 1981.

Her paintings are figurative, often expressing joy and melancholy. Aliisa paints from her experiences and imagination and describes the work as a world somewhere “between reality and imagination”. Her figures are always large but Aliisa does not see them as fat. “I draw and paint intuitively, and I like large shapes and curves. I think perhaps it is because these images are about the soul, which is immense and boundless.”

Aliisa has been exhibiting her work throughout the UK since 1983.

Prices range from £295 - £490
