Helmi Nieminen b.1997, FI

I’m a visual artist currently based in Helsinki. My works can be described as autobiographical and playful. I work with drawing, ceramics, metal, paper mache and textile. Through colorful installations my works come together and invite the viewer to step inside my universe. My world is inhabited by animals, dragons and other imagined characters. With my installations I want to create space for sensitivity, playfulness and imagining new worlds, all of which are vital in these turbulent times.
