Information about the artist / the group

My expression is characterised by the specificity of the small and the common. The basic themes of my work are light, botany and trees, I love branches and wild urban nature. I live and work by the sea and water is an important element and theme in my art. For me, visual art begins where words end. I collect moments of silence and turn them into images. My tools are digital photography and video, cyanotype printing and off-camera photography. To finish the cyanotype images printed on thin paper, I use encaustic, which makes my works translucent and glowing in the light. The size and format of my works varies from jewelry to environmental art.

Program during Konstrundan

In my own studio you can see my working process, sketches, unfinished and finished work and jewellery. I will be running some cyanotype mini-workshops where participants will be able to make their own cyanotype images. Weather permitting, the workshops will not be held in case of rain. The joint exhibition of Pirjo Lempeä and Riikka Kontio will be held in Lempeä Kontio's shared creative space.

Driving directions

You can find Lempeä Kontio's creative space on the third floor at the end of the corridor.
