Artist’s Statement
"Jari Arffman’s art is characterized by various antitheses: he is a realist who documents what he sees without embellishing it and at the same time a romantic who communicates mystical spiritual and mental landscapes. In his photographs, a futuristic mechanical aesthetic meets a lyrical portrayal of nature, and narrativity meets symbolism. Arffman is interested in both the local and the global, the intellectual and the emotional, the conceptual and the concrete, the personal and the generic, otherness and sameness."
