Visual artist. Photographer.

AINI PIHLAJANIEMI
STATEMENT

"Photography is one of my most important tools in artistic work. In my work, I study life from the perspective of an individual. My subjects spring from everyday life – ordinary observations, common experiences and unremarkable thoughts."

​

"There is a human being almost without exception in all of my photographs. Scars, scratches and flaws on skin are an inexhaustible source of inspiration. Yet a photograph contains so much more than just the visible – there could be a full family history there, not to mention the whole future with its achievements, setbacks, fears and dreams."
