Meriliis Rinne alias MERU

She questions how to be an artist, woman and human at the same time in the context of today.
Her eclectic series of works are distinguished by the very lack of a uniformed organising principle, maybe because of her background having grown up at the end of the soviet era which was itself a really uniformed matchbox environment.

The Artist favours acrylic paints and oils but also uses what she can from the environment to recycle – from newspapers or burlap coffee bags to electronic pieces to make art.

A big believer in giving back –she partly does this by helping fund raising efforts for children’s hospitals in Estonia by creating artwork for charity auctions or donating % from her exhibition sales, as she feels that art work has more emotional value over money.
