Kaija Hinkula

Kaija Hinkula

Kaija Hinkula`s artistic practise deals with the role of fantasy as a part everyday reality and possible realities and future images construction. In her works, the familiar elements of painting as color, paint and composition combine sculptural and space-time art methods. Her artistic practice includes a series of sculptural paintings, installations and video performances.

Hinkula has graduated as a Master of Fine Arts from the Helsinki Academy of Fine Arts and as a visual artist from the Saimaa University of Applied Sciences. Her works are featured in the Finnish State Art Deposit Collection and in the collections of HAM Helsinki Museum of Art.

”When the artist asks if it would be possible to imagine alternative realities and word orders, the answer is yes. And she proves this through her works and exhibitions, showing how art is always a form or dissidence and rethinking. Hinkula takes her audience into an experience that reveals surprising directions and views. She does not offer a static style or expression, but rather shows the fantasty-like views born in her studio. Hinkula’s workspace does not have a chair, because the artist never remains still and is always in motion. The same applies to her art, described as ‘malleable geometry’ or a ‘place between realities’. Stargazer à la Kaija Hinkula takes the viewer to galaxies far, far away, simply by sight. This, if anything, is fantastic minimalism.” – Ph.D. Juha-Heikki Tihinen
