Lassi Kontiainen ^{Emerging artist}

Artist's country of origin: Finland

Visual artist Lassi Kontiainen (b. 1999) works and lives in Helsinki, Finland. Kontiainen works with painting, layering his oil paints and transparent glazes thinly and allowing for his original plan to dissolve in the process to increase the agency of the painting itself. His works are often icon-like, not only in size, but also due to their technique and quality, making them seem almost lit from within. Although vague traces of figuration are present, the overall impression is closer to abstraction. Kontiainen is drawn to religious themes but avoids unidirectionality by insisting on a more inclusive and contemplative spirituality of body and mind.
