Artist’s Statement
Expert in recycled fabrics and gold
Visual Artist, Art teacher MA, Art developer, CEO Art Annanolli LTD
Tero is a multitalent person, who has 15 years of experience in teaching art. At the same time Tero has been creating his carrier as a Visual Artist. Tero was awarded the gold medal by London Cultural Olympiad in 2012 and has been a member of the Olympic Fine Arts Association since 2014. Tero has spent periods of painting in both artistic capitals of Europe: Paris and Rome.
The Sources of Tero´s Creative workshops in organisations are Artistic interventions. It is an alternative way to stimulate innovatiness and creativeness.
Annanolli typically chooses flowers, plants and landscapes as themes for his paintings. In portraying humans, Annanolli approaches his subject in relation to the environment and space. Key issues in his artworks are surface structure and the use of recycled fabrics, such as cast-off tablecloths, bedspreads and curtains.
Annanolli's work has been praised for his versatile use of materials and closeness to nature. Recycled fabrics are used as a base material for paintings, and he combines fabrics with sheet metals in a surprising way. “My works were inspired by nature and food – the life around us,” says artist Tero Annanolli. “I often explore new environments by foot, attuned to the scents and sounds, as well as the light in the early morning, in the evening or after the rain. Wild herbs are something ordinary and multidimensional at the same time. You can find them by ditches and in the fields, and they reveal fine shapes and flavours and fascinating stories.” In his works, Tero has depicted the delicate nature of wild herbs and has added touches of gold leaf that reflect the light streaming into the depths of the forest.
