About MVSEVM:
Ola Kolehmainen’s series ‘MVSEVM’ is a new body of work that was shot in iconic European museums such as the Glyptothek in Munich, Altes Museum in Berlin, and Victoria & Albert Museum in London. Instead of documenting the sites, Kolehmainen is interested in the abstraction of light and space. He stresses the fact that we see everything in fragments that are integrated into a coherent whole in the brain. Kolehmainen also photographs his works in fragments, which infuses them with a sense of the uncanny and the metaphysical. Other key elements in the MVSEVM series are time and atmosphere. Kolehmainen sees museums as sacred spaces that offer a chance for dialogue across centuries. Museums and their collections are for him like time machines in which the past and the present meet and where time can almost be transcended.
About Ola Kolehmainen:
Ola Kolehmainen, one of the most prominent artists of the "Helsinki School", graduated in 1999 as a master student at the University of Arts and Design in Helsinki (now Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture). His work specifically deals with contemporary architecture. Focused on the basic structure of architectural facades and interiors, on the strictly geometric arrangement of the serial (building) form, Kolehmainen creates almost abstract images whose aesthetic roots lie in minimalism. Distracting details, which the photographer calls "visual noise", are removed. However, there are elements that repeatedly emerge and undermine the concept of a clear order structure: a tree cut at the edge of the picture, whose branches cover part of the facade, or mirror facades that reflect a fragmented glance at the outer world. The "Helsinki School", one of the most exciting art movements in contemporary photography, cannot be illustrated by a particular style, nationality or formal quality, but by a unique way of looking at things. Members of the "Helsinki School" are primarily conceptual artists who use a camera or photosensitive material to express their artistic work. Furthermore, their location close to the Arctic Circle with exceptional light conditions and the unique social culture created by long days and nights are unique.

'Cicatrices 3' Large scale photo. Agave leaf, female tropical blue teal green

'Cicatrices (3)'
Limited edition archival photograph. Unframed, hand signed and numbered
_________________
Scars of birthing in the unfolding leaf pattern of the giant graceful Agave. The sensual contradictions of silken flesh and the protective spines are a contemplation of motherhood's journey, the unfolding narrative impressed eternally upon the skin.
Sophia's poetic photographs are an exploration of the balance in all things: in the sensual interplay of light and shadow; in wild raw energy and serene stillness; in joy and pain; in the enduring and the effervescent. They are a contemplation of the awareness that everything in existence is temporary, they speak of the ephemeral nature of all things. Moments, feelings, experiences cherished and appreciated in their impermanence, for that is where the beauty comes from. 'I work with time, and the immeasurable spaces of experience within... tangible traces, evidence left behind, records; process in action, stilled'.
