Biography
Annuli Viherjuuri (b. 1984) has been involved in joint exhibitions in Finland and has had solo exhibitions since 2006. She graduated as Bachelor of Fine Art from Satakunta University of Applied Sciences in 2008. Viherjuuri was The Young Artist of Summer 2010 at The Art Center Salmela. She has been involved in joint exhibitions in Germany and Italy in 2014. There are her art works in public collections for example in Oulu Museum of Art (OMA). She lives and works in Kokkola, Finland. Annuli Viherjuuri makes mainly figurative oil paintings. At first she wanted to forward emotions, but now the focus of creative process has moved to lightness and symbolism. Viherjuuri finds it necessary for her art to reflect craftmanship, beauty and content. Her main themes are peace and silence, also precense and purity. Her art has been considered to convey a sacral atmosphere. Viherjuuri has been making a large painting serie called The Kingdom of Hope since 2013. It is a light and symbolic serie with Christian touch. There are girls and young women there to forward the mission of hope. Wreath has a central role in the wholeness because of its symbolism; it means victory and eternal life in Christian symbolism.
