‘Keitä teetä’ (Finnish for ‘Brew some tea’) shows a cosy kitchen scene featuring a mid century Finnish kettle and mug, and a soft, inviting glow. It evokes the soothing, universal comfort of a quiet moment to yourself, making it a perfect, welcoming addition to any kitchen or living space.
Artist Bio: Carli is a self-taught Melbourne-based artist drawn to nostalgic household objects, retro patterns, and florals. Her work combines bright colour palettes, stylised blooms, vintage vases, bold wallpapers, and lace tablecloths - often all within a single composition - to create joyful, maximalist pieces that brighten any space.
Since taking up acrylic painting in 2020, Carli has explored a range of techniques and experimented with styles, including abstraction, gradually developing her own distinctive visual voice. Her work has been featured in several local exhibitions, including Brunswick Street Gallery and a curated display in Abbotsford, and she was recently named a finalist in the 2026 MAVA Art Prize.
For Carli, painting is a deeply rewarding creative outlet, and she cherishes nothing more than seeing people connect with her work and welcome it into their homes.
