ILMAN SUUNTIA
Tuija Virta is a Finnish visual artist whose practice combines painting, printmaking, and small-scale sculpture. Her works move along the boundaries between nature, humanity, and societal phenomena, often approached through subtle humor and an insightful perspective.
The versatile use of materials and techniques is a central part of her practice. In her paintings, color, atmosphere, and layering are emphasized, while printmaking brings out more precise lines and rhythm. In her small-scale sculptures, she constructs intimate, often symbolic worlds in which scale and detail invite the viewer to come closer. Through these different forms of expression, she explores the same thematic whole from multiple perspectives.
