Indrek Aava

Indrek Aava has chosen the way of the old masters as if to prove the eternally captivating nature of technical aptitude. He works with traditional oil paints. He creates technically highly realistic but essentially surreal compositions with barely visible brush strokes. His subjects are simple yet metaphysical, coercing the viewers’ enchanted gaze into the artist’s oddly timeless dimension. Indrek Aava started to work with painting in depth in 2005 when he was studying to be an advertising graphic artist in Finland. Aava has participated in exhibitions since 2009. His works have been acquired into private collections in Estonia as well as internationally: in Finland, France, Sweden and Italy.
