Exploring humanity with art, seeking what is sustainable.
Works on paper by Pirjo Virtanen reveal the flow of time and urge the audience to reflect their position as a human being in the context of built environment and nature. She has a background in science and technology, which has made it natural to extend her artistic expression from pure watercolor to printmaking, installations and digital art, always considering the least harmful ways of making visual art. Besides her artistic practice, she is passionate about the sustainability impacts of the art world. She aims at enabling artists to make conscious choices and at making the social and environmental impacts of art measurable.
