Artistic Journey
Sanna-Mari Prittinen is a passionate visual artist from Ostrobothnia who is dedicated to community and organic art. Her journey in the world of art began ten years ago when she worked on large paintings with nearly a hundred children. From there, her art transformed into something boundless and light, where social interaction and environmental consciousness are central themes.
Inspiration and techniques
At present, Prittinen works not only in Ostrobothnia but also in Andalusia, Spain, drawing inspiration from Europe's scorched forests and water scarcity. Concern for the environment and climate change is reflected in her work, with new techniques including organic charcoal, fire, and wood carving. Prittinen favors ink as a material, and her art combines painting, drawing, and sculpture into a cohesive whole.
MeWeArt and community spirit
Prittinen refers to her community art as MeWeArt, which has successfully engaged thousands of people in a collective dialogue since 2014. Her artworks often emerge spontaneously and playfully, without a clear objective, aiming simply to live in the moment together.
Social contribution
Prittinen works with children, youth, and adults, and her artworks often depict the world from a child's perspective. She is also active in charity work and allocates a portion of her sold pieces to organizing free community art workshops.
