Henna Pohjola
Background
I hold a Master’s degree in Fine Arts from the University of the Arts and a Bachelor’s degree in Media from a University of Applied Sciences, as well as a qualification as a vocational teacher. I have worked in various roles within the creative field: as an artist, entrepreneur, and educator.
Approach
I often begin my work with hand-drawn sketches and paintings, which I then digitize and refine into the final visual expression. My images emphasize the rhythms of nature, abundant details, and organic, growing forms. My creative process is grounded in observing the natural world.
Goal
I rely on intuition, curious exploration, and bold experimentation, aiming for a beautiful and emotionally resonant visual language. My goal is to combine aesthetics and meaning in a way that stays in the viewer’s mind.
Values
In my work, observation, thinking, and making are intertwined. I value carefulness, openness, and presence. I believe that pausing to appreciate something good creates connections, sparks insights, and leaves lasting impressions. Positivity guides me both in my creative practice and in life.
