Værkerne, der er udarbejdet i træ, former en serie af portrætter, som er skabt ud fra en fortolkning og legemliggører en række universelle følelser: Tab, uløselige situationer, uskyld, skønhed, kødelighed – erfaringer, som reflekterer individets dybe menneskelighed.

Billeder fra gamle blade, kunstnerens egne foto fra Oaxaca i Mexico og historiske krigsbilleder har påvirket den tematiske ramme. Den mexicanske indflydelse ses også tydeligt i det intense farvevalg.

Vuorenmaa søger gennem arbejdet med træet at finde frem til dybere niveauer og nye former inden for maleriet. Hun forener således elementer fra det skulpturelle med maleriet, når hun bearbjeder træplader med mejsel og pensel og skaber tredimensionelle enheder, der fylder rummet.

These woodworks form a series of portraits that are created by one’s interpretation, but embody certain universal feelings. Losses, unresolvable situations, innocence, beauty, carnality – experiences reflecting individual’s deep humanity.

Images from old magazines, private photos from Oaxaca (Mexico, 2012) and historical war photos have all fundamentally influenced the thematic framework. The Mexican influence is also vividly seen in the way the colours have been intensified in the later stages.

Working with wood has intensified Vuorenmaa’s search to find deeper levels and forms within a painting. For the past four years she has worked on wood-based panels which she has altered in turns with brush and chisel. The shape and materials of her works have varied over the years, and she often aim to create three-dimensional entities that fill the space.
