look, see, hear their story”
ARTIST STATEMENT
Antte(Anne-Mari) Kerkola
VISUAL ARTIST (YAMK)
I was born in Kuopio, but now I live in Naantali and work at the Turku Taiteentalo. I also work as a teacher of arts at Lieto Opisto.
I find my artistic inspiration from my surroundings and nature, its colors, shapes, lines and structures. However, I don’t directly copy what I see, but let the
vision and experience grow into mindscapes and atmospheres. Sometimes materials and techniques can lead the artwork process to new paths.
Subconsciously, in my artwork, I cover my relationship with nature and my surroundings. I also want to remind people how we are just a part of nature and
nothing more than that.
