Jyrki Parantainen

Dimensional Dreams and Disappointments, 2025

In his works Parantainen fuses photography with three-dimensional elements like pins and metal wires, linking words and images to emotional "pressure points.” These visual connections evoke forces beyond our control and suggest tensions beneath everyday life. His work explores core human themes—love, death, vulnerability—with a touch of dark humor and absurdity. This collection of works carries on his fascination with developing conceptual approaches and working methods by combining and weaving various philosophical and historical themes into his art pieces.
