Piia Rossi
Artist
Piia Rossi is a Finnish visual artist whose practice centers on material sensitivity and transformation through the rhythms of natural and human processes. Her work grows from cycles of change and memory, often exploring the tension between fragility and resilience, decay and renewal.
Piia Rossi holds a Master of Arts (MA) and a Master of Letters (MLitt) in Education from the National College of Art and Design in Dublin, Ireland. She has also completed formal training in jewellery making.
Artistic Vision
Rossi works across media, allowing each piece to determine its own internal logic and methods.
Her visual language is shaped by slowness, observing, collecting and manipulating the material. This rhythm reflects the passage of time and brings visibility to processes. Through tactile materials and subtle gestures, Rossi creates works that speak quietly yet powerfully about transformation and continuity.
Mark-making and the physicality of materials become inscriptions through which she examines the entanglement of human and more-than-human worlds. Her works can be understood as visual manuscripts of rooting, disintegration, and growth.
