Riitta Kuisma, an acclaimed Finnish artist whose works often display a strong affinity with nature, has recently completed a mural at Hong Kong Gold Coast Hotel. Created with Airlite, an inorganic paint that can turn walls into air purifiers thanks to its ability to eliminate bacteria and prevent formation of mould, the mural features verditer flycatchers, monarch butterflies, frangipani and bougainvillea, species commonly found in the area. It recreates the rejuvenating power of nature to bring healthier environs to our guests.
A graduate of the Moscow State Stroganov Academy of Design and Applied Arts, Riitta has created more than 15 murals in Hong Kong since 2015, bringing a more positive vibe to the city.
