Salla is a performance and visual artist based in Helsinki, Finland. She graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in 2023. As an artist, she is interested in the material, political and poetic aspects of our everyday phenomenon.
In Ii Salla has made the most of the peaceful environment and the proximity of nature KulttuuriKauppila residency has to offer. She has been witnessing the slow increasing of day light and has been skiing in Illinsaari island.
At the moment she is working on a drawing installation which will be part of a group exhibition in March.
“I am spending my days in an unhurried routine here in Ii. It seems to have released a lot of creative energy and also created the possibility to just enjoy the moment. The colours I am using seem to glow in the wintery light, reflecting and transforming into sky, earth, skin or surfaces. Even the most modest colour will become beautiful when paired with a matching hue.”
