Descrizione Opera / Biografia
Mirjam Hinn (born 1990) is Estonian based abstract artist who lives and works in Tartu, Estonia. Some of the key themes in her practice have evolved from her fascination with the phenomenon of synaesthesia, the idea of blended senses. Hinn is interested in investigating how it is possible to visualize experiences on canvases, for example hearing sounds (exhibition Solidified Sounds), sensing light (exhibition The Light Begins to Boil) or experiencing emotional shock (exhibition High Voltage). Many of her works focuses on issues of inward human experiences, for example exhibition “High Voltage” which explored the intense states of mind and their role in being human. By dismantling extreme experiences, Hinn tried to reveal the common underlying structures that characterize all the exhilarating experiences that she attempt to capture into the gamut of dazzling color of her abstract paintings. Her latest exhibition “Island of a Thousand Eyes” is based on a fiction that is used to introduce numerous stories and abstract interpretations about our society and subconsciousness. The exhibition offers an original glimpse at the post-technological society where ideas about nature and artificial structures have become intertwined.
