Artist’s Statement
Brief artist introduction:
Jan Heinonen works primarily with fine art photography and media art. He uses poetic and often metaphorical language in his works. He wants to create works that create calm poetic images that leave traces and balance on the border between identification and alienation.
His work strives to create a connection between the reality of nature and the imagination of its designer. These works focus on concrete issues that determine our existence.
Jan Heinonen currently lives and works in Uusimaa.
