ARTIST STATEMENT

I make art by exploring science. By studying astrobiology and theories of physics I try to understand the world. My paintings are a mix of realism and abstraction. I seek tones of lights, shadows and reflections when painting, and when visualizing the invisible I use innovative techniques.

- Because world is full of emptiness and the emptiness is full of motion. Because the life is a ripple in the everlasting flow of the energy. Because the physics is all...

I am a professional visual artist focusing on painting, drawing, printmaking, embroidery and collage as my main techniques. I enjoy working with different kind of visual concepts in series and in big formats, preferably with large picture installations. My pictures are characterized by simplicity, warm bright colors and a graphical style. Absurdities and black humor are other ingredients in my often very ambiguous pictures. For the moment I´m working on an ongoing drawing project called “The Forest...

Sculptor


Graduated from The Academy of Fine Arts in 2004



“Jasmin’s work continuously alludes to pop culture, sometimes making references to the Western toy industry,

or presenting dunkheap ladies who, by carrying their precious loads, have become landfill themselves.

Each of these has a story to tell – although they look amusing at first glance,

they reveal much about the world around us.”

Minua kiinnostaa ihmisen suhde ympäristöönsä. Näen maiseman ja paikan heijastuksena ihmisestä. Kuva on silta ulkoisen ja sisäisen maailman välillä. Alleviivaan arjesta symboleita ja merkityksiä. Itse näen töissäni runollista realismia, jossa tavoitellaan pyhän kokemusta arjessa ilman uskontoa. Koen taiteen välineenä, jonka kautta ymmärrän, jäsennän ja kommentoin ympäröivää maailmaa. Työskentelen valokuvan, liikkuvan kuvan, maalauksen ja kuvanveiston keinoin. Löydän aiheeni usein syrjäseuduilta.

Moosa Myllykangas

I am a visual artist and I have been working professionally for 30 years with different materials, such as industrial waste, metal, plastic, acrylic, polycarbonate and ready made-objects. Materials I use have no more any particular point, per se. More important is that they support the message behind the final work. Occasionally materials can act as inspirational catalyst, too.

I have done installations, site-specific works and various large and small pieces of artwork. Daylight, shadows, transparency...
