Veera Rislachius
b. 1993, Isokyrö, Finland
I believe art works like a mirror; Every piece and act of art reflects itself differently for every one of us - depending on our lived lives, experiences, thoughts and feelings.
As I have the freedom while I'm working, every observer of the artworks has the freedom themselves.
Sometimes my works are coming out with a flash-like impulse; sometimes they ripe in my head for a long time, requiring research and moulding along the way. With the mediums and materials, I am curious and open - usually the piece itself knows the right form of outcome.
