Leena Luostarinen Misfit

Leena Luostarinen (1949–2013) was one of Finland’s 
most significant contemporary artists. She made her 
breakthrough in the early 1980s, at a time when 
postmodernism was transforming the art world and 
Finnish art was increasingly shaped by new ideas 
emerging from Europe and the United States. 
Luostarinen is especially known for her signature 
images of reclining big cats. Her monumental, coloursaturated paintings are rich in symbolism, drawing on 
Chinese and Egyptian cultures, motifs inspired by her 
extensive travels, and private, hidden messages.
