Tiina Jääskeläinen-Alasaari, born in 1962 and also known by her former
surname Hattunen, is a visual artist and writer living in Kaarina,
Finland. Her works are often based on images originating from music,
which form through different processes and combine with emotions. Her
totem animal, the giraffe, crept into her pictorial world already in the
1980s. The same decade witnessed the emergency of chairs into her art,
depicting the controversy between the human being and the norms of
society.
Recently she has challenged herself with the art of portraits: ”For me,
portraits are the most difficult form of art. It is also something that
I have always wanted to do. More I know the person more difficult it is
because someone familiar has too many faces and sometimes it is
impossible to catch the core of the personality. I find selfies in
social media an interesting glimpse inside other people's inner world.
Selfies tell me something about how the person sees him/herself. The
portraits I paint are my interpretation of their interpretation of
themselves. More I know the person more difficult it is because someone
familiar has too many faces and sometimes it is impossible to catch the
core of the personality.”
Artistic family background, early discovered synaesthesia, studies in
cultural history, literature, art and philosophy all create a basis for
her existence in which art in all its forms is as necessary as oxygen.
”I see words in pictures, hear pictures as music and associate music
with colors, which constitute atmospheres… Creation is a process of
comprehensive observation of the world, its filtering through one’s own
identity. If I can touch something universal by my paintings and texts,
become understood and transmit my perceptions, I have reached my goals.”
