Oma kuvaus
Olen tunneihminen, rakastan luontoa ja tunnen myös näkymättömän maailman läsnäolon. Luonnosta ammennan voimaa ja energiaa sekä inspiroidun. Minua kiehtoo kaikki vanhat tarinat keijukaisista, maahisista ja menninkäisistä. Työskentelen eri tunnetilojen lävitse, jolloin näen maailman eri värisuodattimien kautta. Näkymättömyys ilmestyy joskus myös näkyväksi töissäni itseni siihen vaikuttamatta.
Olen maalannut vesi-, peite-, öljy- ja akryyliväreillä sekä tehnyt joitakin tussi-, tekstiili- ja huovutustöitä. Nykyään maalaan pääasiassa akryyliväreillä.
Kaikenlaiset käsityöt ovat olleet aina lähellä sydäntäni. Vuosien varrella on syntynyt myös satoja onnittelu- ja joulukortteja.
Olen saanut innostuksen taiteen tekemiseen syntymälahjana, jonka lisäksi olen lukenut taidealan kirjallisuutta ja osallistunut taidekursseille (kuten öljyväri, vesiväri, keramiikka, huovutus). Maalaustekniikkaa minulle opetti oululainen taiteilija Tauno Ohenoja.
Toimiessani IT -alalla erikoissuunnittelijana intoni taiteeseen säilyi, vaikka aikaa taiteen tekemiseen oli vähemmän. Eläkkeelle jäätyäni sain vihdoin mahdollisuuden toimia kokopäiväisenä taiteilijana.
Työtilani sijaitsee kotona
I have had a versatile and multi-professional career elsewhere (as a special designer among other things), but as a carpenter’s daughter art has been a concrete part of my life in drawing and painting. I’m both self-educated and course-trained artist, one of my teachers has been Tauno Ohenoja, a visual artist from Oulu.
After my retiring I made my dream come true and started to work as an artist full time.
I have been given a gift of inspiration for art at birth. Ever since I could hold a pen, I have been drawing and painting. The nature speaks to me powerfully as also do stories about spirits of the nature, earth sprites and gnomes. This all gives me energy and inspiration, which can be seen in my artwork. I love the diversity, uniqueness and beauty of all four seasons. Also, the vulnerability of the nature concerns me.
I’m an emotional person and I also sense the presence of the invisible world. Sometimes the invisible becomes visible in my paintings unintentionally. I like to try out different techniques. In addition to painting in acrylics I have done recycled art with patches of felt, fabric and paper. I work through different emotional states and doing so I see the world through coloured filters. Green, blue and purple are very strong in my artwork.
My artwork doesn’t represent any specific stylistic direction. They place themselves somewhere between realism, impressionism and abstract. Visiting famous galleries and museums has given me stimulus to my own work.

Virtual exhibition
M.A.D.S Art Gallery, Milano and Fuerteventura, Art Curator Ilaria Falchetti
19.11. – 30.11.2021
Excerpts from the critique of Art Curator Ilaria Falchett (in the official catalog of the art exhibition “HYSTERICA” - the critique can be read in its entirety):
“… Sisko connects man with nature through her creations, seeking to establish a strong and lasting relationship. Sisko captures the most fascinating, energetic and often elusive aspects of natural elements. The invisible becomes visible in her paintings. The intrinsic spirits of nature find an outlet in the artist's colours and shapes, dissecting the deepest and most hidden emotions of the human being.
…
…The technique used seems to come close to the impressionism of the great painters such as Manet and Monet through the rendering of a perceptible reality. Fast, energetic brushstrokes of pure colour immediately record what the artist's eye sees. The sky is dynamic, surreal and abstract…
...
The artist’s dexterity is remarkable. Sisko proves to be a versatile artist. She often uses similar subjects but reworks them with different techniques and in a creative way. She takes emotional paths that reveal the vulnerability of nature and are able to bring out deep emotions. The energy she conveys to the viewer is unique and indescribable.”
