Sara Manninen
I am a visual artist and printmaker based in Turku. I work with photo-based printmaking techniques. My work combines the documentary nature of photography with the ambiguous nature of the handicraft. I am interested in how memories blend with the present and dreams leak into everyday reality, creating new hidden worlds. My work moves in the liminal space of dreams, imagination and memory. Craftsmanship and experimental methods of the technique are at the heart of my work.
I graduated as a visual artist from Turku Arts Academy in 2019 and as a Master of Fine Arts from the Academy of Fine Arts in 2022. I work at the printmaking studio of the Turku Printmakers Association and at my own studio at the Art House Turku.
