Heini Riitahuhta (1975) graduated from the ceramics and glass department of the University of Art and Design in 2002. That same year she received the Honorable mention in Mino, Japan. The young artist expresses her artistry with decorative unique works. The same decoration motives appear in her serial production objects. Her journey in Arabia started as a result of her diploma work, Helmi light. Now Heini works in Arabia Art Department. She is the chairman of the Art Department Society.
”In design I seek the symbiosis of decoration and form – they communicate together and create a fulfilling entity. My design language is minimalistic but I combine simplified form with generous decoration surface. My unique ceramics follows the same thought/pattern. It starts with the objects and is based on the tradition of industrial art design? Decorations and patterns that I design are usually based on Finnish nature and plant themes. I aim at bringing my own view into the traditional ceramics motives – the motive is traditional but the disposal is mine.”
Heini Riitahuhta has joined Arabia Art Department’s exhibitions in Shigarak, Japan and Denmark. Her debut private exhibition was in the Arabia Museum’s Gallery in Spring 2005.
