Alexandra Stroganova

Alexandra Stroganova (b. 1990) is a transdisciplinary artist exploring the entanglements between nature and culture, the human and the non-human, and the past, present, and future. Informed by feminist philosophies such as new materialism and hydrofeminism, her work foregrounds an ethics of care and attentiveness, where more-than-human agents — matter, water, plants, and fungi — emerge as active collaborators.
Her practice spans a wide range of media, combining research with experimental material approaches and sustainable methods. Currently, Alexandra is drawn to alternative photographic processes such as cyanotype, anthotype, and analogue photography. She has exhibited her art in Finland in both group and solo exhibitions and has participated in artist residencies abroad. Her analogue photography received a winning place in the Analog Sparks International Film Photography Awards in 2025.
Stroganova holds an MA in Nordic Visual Studies and Art Education with a minor in Visual Culture, Curating, and Contemporary Art from Aalto University and is based in Helsinki, Finland.

Noora El Harouny

I am an artist living and working in Helsinki, and I hold a Master of Arts degree from Aalto University. My artistic practice is defined by a sensitivity to place and materials, as well as by a consciously slow process of development. I mainly work with textile materials, and various yarn-based techniques form a central part of my expression. Dyeing the materials I use with locally gathered ingredients is an essential aspect of my practice.

I am interested in themes of everyday life, repetition, and play. My work also touches on questions related to familiarity, belonging, and memory. At the moment, I am working on a series titled Recipes, which explores through experimental dyeing and rya techniques how a sense of home is constructed in relation to food.

Satu Timonen

Satu Timonen (b.1983, Helsinki) is a visual artist based in Kuopio. Her intuitive drawings and watercolours combines elements of nature, geometry, mystical creatures and metaphysich, building interdimencional transitions from seen to unseen.

Works build up either slowly meditative and detailed, or by explosive brushstrokes with flowing colours, there’s no between. ”I see art as an effective way of going within, also as an form of channeling. It’s an efficient way to build softer comforting worlds that you can use as a way of escapism.”

Aino-Maija Laaksonen

Aino-Maija Laaksonen works primarily with acrylics, complemented by charcoal and oil pastels. She paints on linen and cotton canvases, and her works are characterized by rich, vibrant colors, a distinctive painterly touch, and the interplay between hardness and softness.

The subtle nuances of everyday life and personal experiences — such as motherhood and the conflicting shades of existence — are reflected in her work. Art serves as a way for her to process these moments, to deepen sensitivity, awareness of limitations, and personal growth — while offering an unspoken freedom to both the artist and the viewer.

“I paint what I see and what I feel, diving deep into my inner self, where colors and emotions meet. I juxtapose colors as areas that live their own lives — transforming, adapting, revealing themselves in every movement and every flicker of light. My color palette moves in harmony with nature, changing along with it, reflecting the transformations and beauty of my surroundings.
I don’t want to be bound by rules, excessive representation, teachings, or norms; instead, I seek freedom in my creativity. My art is in constant transformation. My works often emerge spontaneously and without premeditation, expressing thoughts and emotions that I cannot always convey in words. This creative process is like a journey to me — every brushstroke tells a story, and every color opens a new door into my world.”
