01.    About

Linda Linko is a Helsinki-based visual artist who works in a variety of mediums, focusing in particular on drawing and painting.

The visual thinking of Linko, who graduated from the University of Art and Design in 2004, is shaped by her background in design. Her works are influenced by both contemporary painting and 1960s Polish poster design.

Her work is characterised by a recognisable visual style and an interest in the chosen materials and the possibilities they offer.

“I am fascinated by the dynamics of seeing, observing and understanding. Through art, it is easier to explore inexplicable structures and semiotic associations – deformities, which have always interested me.”
