“Liisa Addi’s greyhounds are guardians. When the world around us is unstable, the greyhound acts as a protective energy, an alter ego that calmly carries everything through. The world around us needs more color and passion. The greyhound ensures that life contains more of both.

Liisa’s favorite birds in childhood were the plump winter thrushes. The thrush, as a symbol of good luck, is essential on the greyhound’s journey, bringing color back into everyday life.

Liisa Addi is a neurodivergent artist (diagnosed with autism and ADHD), and in her work she reflects her needs in this turbulent society: what do we need to feel safe? How can we influence our environment according to our own needs? Liisa creates her own world: full of color, passion, and dreams. Fantasy generates hope, a uniquely human gift.”
