01.    About

I am Linda Linko, a visual artist based in Helsinki, primarily focusing on painting and drawing.

In my work, I explore color, movement, and the tensions between elements. I am fascinated by certain kinds of 'non-forms' as well as semiotic associations—in simpler terms, the unknown. My work strives to break free from the constraints of verbalization and communication, leaving room for the viewer's own interpretation.

Although my style is abstract, I have been influenced by typography and 1960s Polish poster design. There is also an underlying interest in classical modernist painting and themes such as still life and portraiture, which I interpret loosely in my own way.
