Hong Liu-Sertti

I moved from China to Finland nearly 20 years ago. Finland has become my second hometown. My two-culture background inspires me to work with the different perspectives in the interaction and integration of the Chinese and Finnish cultures.

My paintings serve the purposes of helping to understand human-nature relationship and promoting respect of different cultures. I also aim at providing people a different viewpoint of universal values and drawing their attention to the basics of human existence. I experiment with traditional Chinese artistic techniques, forms and values in a contemporary way of expression, which would enrich the art society with multicultural imprints.
