Johanna Saikkonen (b. 1998) is an oil painter finishing her master’s degree at the Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki. She contemplates on themes of egocentricity and self-deception through fleshy depictions of human bodies. Her paintings entail a question: in what light dare we face life and ourselves?
