ABOUT
Valokuva: Hanna Kuronen
Heidi Vuorinen (b. 1985 Kemijärvi) is a Finnish artist and designer based in Kuopio eastern Finland.
She comes from a small northern town where the Arctic Circle runs through the peaceful lake region of Lapland. Having grown up surrounded by open landscapes, nightless night and clear waters, she brings a northern quietness to her work – a sensitivity shaped by stillness and the passage of time.
She works primarily with abstract art, combining natural materials and reclaimed textiles.
Vuorinen's practice is intuitive and experimental. She is not attached to a single technique but explores the language of color, texture, and beauty of imperfection. Her process is grounded in presence and slowness. Each piece reflects an inner honesty, seeking balance through material, tone, and quiet expression.
Her practice is both meditative and experimental – a continual process of exploration, letting go, and discovery
She studied design and interior architecture, graduating in 2025. After working in interior design, she is now transitioning fully to artistic practice. She is currently working on her first limited edition art series.
ARTIST STATEMENT
My work begins with the understanding that art and the spaces around us shape how we experience the world — and the emotions it awakens in us. Through both spatial design and handmade works, I seek a sense of quiet balance. Pieces that bring calm into everyday life and invite a moment of pause.
I am inspired by the tones, textures, and quiet presence of nature. My expression leans toward restrained minimalism with a subtle tactile quality. A muted palette and a sense of timelessness guide my practice — an intention to create something enduring rather than momentary.
Consideration informs my choices. I reflect on materials, processes, and the trace each work leaves — in space and over time.
Perfection is not the aim, but intention always carries meaning.
