Pirjo Nykänen (b. 1957 in Kuusamo) is a painter and photographer living and working in Kemi.
Her works deal with man’s connection to nature and the living environment. The diversity of life is present with all its joys and sorrows. The harmony and contradiction of forms, the contrast and harmony of colors, twilight and light form pairs that, in their immateriality, lead concretely to seize the limitless possibilities of material nature. Man and human nature are hidden in a space that is a bottomless well. The project is unbroken. Nature blooms when it’s time.
