Artist
Part of events on ArtRabbit in: Espoo
Veera Kaamos Pitkänen (b.1984) is a Finnish collage artist. Pitkänen works with traditional hand cutting method, using recycled magazine and art book materials. Her technique is very slow and detailed, combining renaissance and baroque paintings with contemporary, scientific photography. She does not use any digital tools in her work. Pitkänen's work studies the themes of violence, taboo, mythologies, the occult and forbidden sexuality. In her work she adopts the outsider's perspective, siding with the unwanted, seemingly insignificant and powerless. Much of her work ponders on environmental destruction.
