Artist’s Statement

Miia Kettunen (b. 1974) is a Rovaniemi-based visual artist (MA) working locally and internationally. Miia`s works often convey a lyrical ambience of connection with nature, are born in a communal and multidisciplinary dialogue, frequently at the unconventional interfaces and encounters of the collective and the subjective. Recurring themes are attributes and transformations of the conscious human mind, and the understanding of landscapes and environments from internal spaces outward.
