Hello, Dear Visitor! I am an artist Aili Vint from Estonia, Europe. I come from the middle of the last century (born in 1941). but still paint the Sea. I am lucky, as I have the Sea as a source of inspiration and my model for over 70 years. The Sea has my endless gratitude forever. I don’t know anyone else who through the constantly changing times would stay the same forever.
Hii! Merehingega inimesed! I look forward to inspiring evenings with me!
Heie Treier, Estonian Art Critic: Woman & Sea. Kunst Magazine, 74/ 21 1989: Aili Vint has not tied herself to any particular line, although her work is full of quotations of pop and opp-art, glow in light sculptures and series of colored etchings. But she always keeps returning to the Sea. The Sea is in eternal motion and the details, which the artist perceives at a blink, - something mesmerizing, existential and quintessential, - is gone with the next moment. All that remains is an experience of a person who is able to revive and magnify this on a canvas. his is an extremely direct approach to the subject of art and the result allows contact with the most diverse audience - a rather unusual phenomenon in contemporary art at all.

SEA & ME
I am the Sea. —The Sea is painting me.
The Sea just is, even after the most ferocious storm it calms down, it’s gentle and tender again.— Just like me! — I am the Sea. —The Sea is painting me.
Have you considered how similar the Soul of the Sea and that of a Woman is? Really, remember yourself…
Estonian Writer Jaan Kruusvall: The world that Aili Vint creates painting the Sea is fragile and elusive, easily vulnerable. Just like the rest of the world. Like the inner world of a person.
With my guash paintings I tell the story of the sensuality of the Sea, they are like Souls of the Sea 2019
The next digicollage combined from my original paintings: (1964–2018) and could be designed as large as the exhibition space allows, even on the ceiling and the floor..
…like Silence before a storm
…a new Storm is coming
… and we get Quiet again
