Tiina Pyykkinen<\/strong> (b. 1983) is a Helsinki-based visual artist who works primarily with paintings and installations. Her practice is focused on the themes of communication, individual and collective memory, and time and its disorder as a bodily experience.<\/p>\n

Pyykkinen uses various combinations of material and light creating multi-layered works that engage in a dialogue with space, movement, and the viewer`s perceptual experience. Her works are temporal and spatial, in which visuality is in constant flux.<\/p>\n

Pyykkinen graduated with a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts in 2014. She was named as the Young Artist of the Year in 2017, an honor organized by the Tampere Art Museum and the City of Tampere. Her works have been exhibited in various exhibitions, for instance at the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma (2024), Tampere Art Museum (2024), Serlachius Museums (2024-2023), among others museums and galleries in Finland and across Europe. Her paintings are part of the collections such as the Saastamoinen Art Foundation (EMMA, Espoo Museum of Modern Art), Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, Serlachius Museums, Jenny and Antti Wihuri Foundation (Rovaniemi Art Museum), Tampere Art Museum and Maastricht University Collection in Netherlands, among others. Her latest site-specific work was completed in 2021 to the main fa\u00e7ade of Nova, Jyv\u00e4skyl\u00e4 Central Hospital.<\/p>\n
