“For years I made machines, videos, installations and sculptures. Now I've returned to where my entire artistic journey began: painting and drawing. The subjects of my works used to stem from funny and positive insights. With painting, however, the themes became more intense: my paintings also address difficult issues such as illness and transience. I am interested in the limitations of human senses, mental illnesses and functional limitations.

I draw a lot from my own life for my works. I tinker with all sorts of things on my own. My older sister once said that others do what they know, Maija does whatever she wants. With techniques that no one has ever used before, you just have to practice. There is no textbook that teaches you about it.”My collections grow and develop over time. I have found my own technique and way of making art; it cannot be learned from any book, it must be discovered through experimentation. I am very excited about the new sugar-water technique, which I do with acrylic paint, a stick, water, and ink. In the work, the color starts to spread and does what it wants... it's very interesting. My latest works feature two people, perhaps they are some kind of encounters. Works with many people relate to hallucinations, to the idea that there are many people at home, which can be frightening...
