Artist's Work

Eliisa Isoniemi / Statement

In my artistic work I use old lithophane technique. A lithophane

is a thin translucent porcelain object or plate and the image

made on it can only be seen clearly when lit from behind.

Images are amazingly three-dimensional.

Light is very important to me. The lithophane image

change depending on the light source. When I carve the image

on clay, I draw light and I draw with light.

I love to draw figurative images and to express changing looks

and feelings to be seen in a human face. The faces mirror the

joys and sorrows of life. My images also wants to show how

valuable we all are and how beautiful diversity is.
