ARTIST PROFILE

Antti Unski Immonen

  • Finland (b. 1981 in Varkaus)
  • Currently in Helsinki, Finland.
  • As an artist, I think of myself as an explorer. I reflect on different ways of constructing an artwork, striving to understand how the final work is formed. My artistic production consists of photographs, intallations and paintings.
