TIINA HEISKA

Tiina Heiska lives and works in Helsinki. She has exhibited in several group and solo exhibitions in Finland and abroad. Heiska’s work is represented in a number of Finnish art and museum collections, such as Sara Hildén Art Museum, EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art, Amos Anderson Art Museum, HAM Helsinki City Art Museum and Jenny and Antti Wihuri Foundation’s Collection.

Heiska’s paintings are based on photography and cinematography. The images she uses as a draft for her paintings can be stills from films or photos taken by herself. Heiska shamelessly seduces a viewer. By using female accessories and dressing-up Heiska plays with identity, sexuality, desire, age and gender.
