BIOGRAPHY
Hanna Heino is a contemporary Finnish sculptor and artist whose work speaks in otherworldly tones, inviting stillness in a fast-moving world. Working primarily with clay and natural materials, she captures fleeting moments, reveries, and emotions in form. Each piece emerges through a slow, intuitive process, rooted in the heritage of craftsmanship and guided by material honesty.
Her work explores the delicate balance between fragility and permanence, softness and solidity — full of texture and depth. Muted tones and rich details evoke an intimate atmosphere, encouraging the viewer to feel rather than fully understand. Echoes of ancient architecture, sacred ruins, and botanical landscapes are distilled into a poetic presence.
Based in Turku, Finland, Heino founded her studio in 2019 after 15 years in interior design and has since dedicated herself fully to her artistic practice. She has exhibited in premier galleries in Paris, Brussels, New York, and Milan, and her works are held in collections worldwide, including The Royal Mansour Hotel in Casablanca, Cartier’s New York Mansion, and The Hotel Maria in Finland. In 2024, she was awarded the 5th Officine Saffi Award, receiving a special Casa Wabi residency prize.
My work begins where words fade — shaping a presence from the unseen, something dreamy to hold. Held in stillness.
