Susanne Broända Biography

Finland, born 1978

My art is a continuous journey of exploration, one that delves into the unseen magic that surrounds us and the profound depths of personal transformation. Over time, my work has evolved from an initial curiosity about the mysteries of life into a mature expression of the interconnectedness between the spiritual and the tangible. This development is rooted in my unwavering commitment to exploring the subtleties of the human experience, the natural world and the world beyond.

My intention as an artist is to create pieces that act as bridges between worlds—the ethereal and the everyday, the inner self and the outer environment. I aim to invite viewers into a space of reflection, where they can connect with the emotions and energies that often go unnoticed in the hustle of daily life. My art is not just a visual experience; it’s an emotional and spiritual journey, encouraging a deeper awareness of the beauty that lies in the small, often overlooked details of existence.

In terms of production, I am driven by a profound respect for the materials I use, ink, acrylic, metal, rope, wood, and how they can be transformed to convey the complex interplay between vulnerability and resilience. My techniques have been honed over years of both personal and artistic growth, allowing me to express intricate narratives through a unique blend of surrealistic expressionism and spiritualism. My work is distinct in its ability to convey messages that feel both universal and deeply personal, often delivered through the symbolic presence of birds, which have become central to my visual language.

What sets my art apart is its deeply intuitive nature and the way it harmonizes the mystical with the material. Despite physical limitations that have shaped my process (due to health challenges that began around the age of 30), I remain committed to creating art that serves as a mirror for introspection and a window into the unseen. My goal is to continue evolving as a human being and as an artist, to reach those who are open to an emotional and spiritual dialogue, and to inspire a greater appreciation for the interconnectedness of all life.

Ultimately, my artistic approach is a reflection of my belief that art has the power to heal, to connect, and to transform. It is a testament to the strength found in vulnerability and the beauty that emerges when we embrace the complexities of life.
