Henna Aho is a multidisciplinary visual artist known for her abstract, large-scale, material-based constructions that combine painting, handwoven textiles and various objects. Her art works are inspired by the intersection of fine art, folk art and design. She is interested in exploring color, form and materiality; about narratives, home environment and everyday life, yoga, physicality and breathing techniques, poetic combination of elements and neo-spiritual mysticism.
