Artist’s Statement
The most fascinating aspects of nature are its various shapes and colours and the effect that light has on them – the mythical power that resides in nature. Often, a work of art begins from a photograph. The selected technique can be painting, photography or sculpture. “I do not want to confine myself to one technique but let the idea and experimentation lead me to choose a technique that best suits the subject.”
Pirjo Tikkinen is interested in variety of presentations of photography, such as ceramics technology combining and to photograph for coating using the so-called. ”Encaustic photography” technique. “I want to join two-dimensional images with three-dimensional and more physical work with clay. It is important to be physically in touch with the material. The intuitive creative process of a piece can be deemed as a process of awareness, in which an unconscious thought is brought to consciousness by giving it a form.”
