Information about the artist / the group

The main themes of Aino Keinänen's art are equality and nature, which she strives to nurture by exploring the different dimensions of humanity: Animality, gender diversity, untouchability, land ownership, war, history, religion, culture, community, love, the chain of generations and survival have been the starting points of the projects. A surreal level is hidden in the realistic depiction of people: People are made of natural materials. The destruction of nature created by man is symbolized by a geometric pattern that eats up the earth and leaves behind the white emptiness of the paper. Nature in a person represents hope: From the inside of a stone or wooden person, all sensitivities emerge, e.g. in the form of algae, moss, flowers, fruit, insects, reptiles, resin and lava.
