SALLA LAURINOLLI: AESTHETIC TAKEAWAY 

My exhibition “Aesthetic Takeaway” consists of new oil and tempera paintings.

The details of nature’s nutrient cycle have been the essence of my work in recent years – collecting visual observations while slowly moving across different terrains. In my working process, I embrace the idea of ​​liberating the observation that served as a starting point and painting the observation invisible.

Like painters in the Romantic era, I use nature as a tool and I´m fascinated by the ”wild”.  My works are visual interpretations of essential elements of natural diversity, but they are also manifestations of nature tourism and non-degradable objects born from experiencing the world.

Salla Laurinolli (b.1976) is a visual artist based in Hämeenlinna. She works mainly in the field of painting and deals with the relationship between perception, experience and imagination in her works. Laurinolli graduated as a visual artist (BFA) from Satakunta University of Applied Sciences, School of Fine Art Kankaanpää Kankaanpää in 2002 and a Master of Arts from Aalto University in 2019. 

Salla Laurinolli’s exhibition and work are supported by Häme Regional Fund of Finnish Cultural Foundation.
