One fun drink a day keeps the monsters away by Alisa Lehtinen in Bristol

I’m Alisa a self-taught painter from Finland, now based in Bristol. I create contemporary acrylic paintings that explore quiet, in-between moments, often working with dark, muted tones to reflect the complexity of personal and shared experiences. I’ve been developing my artistic practice for couple years, steadily building and developing. I love to paint still lifes and portraits! My work has been exhibited in group shows at Bristol Folk House (2025), Huw Richard Evans Contemporary Art Gallery, Bristol (2025), Espacio Gallery, London (2025), and the Cellar Door Exhibition, Bristol (2025) and L’Etoile Gallery, Bristol (2026). In 2025, I also completed a commissioned body of work for The Bank restaurant in Glossop, and I have sold both commissioned and original works to private collectors.
