Elina Brotherus
1972
Lives and works between Helsinki and Paris.
Elina Brotherus uses photography and morerecently video to explore an individual's emotional landscape and feelings andseeks to determine where they fit in the overall jigsaw formed by others. Usinga deliberately structured language, Brotherus uses her art to reflect events inher life. Although her self-portraits dominate her work, she never castsherself in a role or stages a setting. Her landscapes are as much a reflectionof her feelings and sentiments. In her recent series, Elina Brotheruschallenges both the code of aesthetics inherent to paintings and the way inwhich beauty is perceived to explore the notion of reality and how it isrepresented.
Elina Brotherus holds an MSc in Chemistry from the University of Helsinki (1997) and an MA in photography from the University of Art and Design in Helsinki (2000). She has been exhibiting her work since 1998.
