A few words about Kirsti Tuokko

Her works are deeply material-driven, often created on plexiglass, which she uses in translucent, opal, or smoke-toned variations. By painting on the reverse side of the plexiglass without viewing the front during the process, she embraces the unexpected, allowing the interplay between material and chance to guide her art. This method not only reflects her fascination with design-oriented creativity but also challenges traditional perceptions of control in painting.

Kirsti Tuokko trained as a visual arts teacher at the Institute of Industrial Arts in Helsinki and later took additional graphic and symbolic design courses at the University of California, Berkeley. Her career as an artist began just before she turned fifty and she is now represented by Forsblom gallery since 2024.
