In my creative process, I am impulsive\u2014willing to fully immerse myself in the act of making and to embrace the images and works that emerge from it. My pieces often exist at the intersection of the representational and the non-representational, hovering between the everyday and the realm of imagination. My work is heavily influenced by the tools and materials I employ; I use ink, pastels, oil and acrylic paints, printmaking techniques\u2014such as woodcuts\u2014and contemporary art created from recycled materials.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\">My artistic practice is process-oriented, utilizing both personal and traditional methods, as well as mixed-media techniques. The landscapes I depict frequently feature bogs or the surfaces of water. My abstract paintings and works are constructed from a multitude of distinct elements, yet water and landscape often appear within them\u2014sometimes even by chance. At the fringes of art, I have discovered a form of therapy\u2014a space for the emotional realm and life\u2019s defining moments. For me, these experiences take on a quasi-religious quality, which I have adapted and shaped to serve my own artistic purposes.<br><br><br><em>Artwork: Muisto maisemasta, acrylic painting, 92 cm x 73 cm, 2026<\/em><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><a href=\"https:\/\/espoontaidelainaamo.fi\/en\/taiteilija\/seppo_6912\/\" data-type=\"link\" data-id=\"https:\/\/espoontaidelainaamo.fi\/taiteilija\/seppo_6912\/\">Seppo Nikkinen<\/a><\/p>\n\n\n\n<p class=\"wp-block-paragraph\"><\/p>\n","protected":false},"featured_media":12457,"template":"","tags":[243,261,227],"class_list":["post-12456","tapahtumat","type-tapahtumat","status-publish","has-post-thumbnail","hentry","tag-espoon-taidelainaamo","tag-kuukauden-taiteilija","tag-nykytaide"],"acf":[],"yoast_head":"<!-- This site is optimized with the Yoast SEO plugin v28.8 - https:\/\/yoast.com\/product\/yoast-seo-wordpress\/ -->\n<title>November artist of the month: Seppo Nikkinen - Espoon Taidelainaamo<\/title>\n<meta name=\"robots\" content=\"index, follow, max-snippet:-1, max-image-preview:large, max-video-preview:-1\" \/>\n<link rel=\"canonical\" href=\"https:\/\/espoontaidelainaamo.fi\/en\/tapahtumat\/marraskuun-kuukauden-taiteilija-seppo-nikkinen\/\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:locale\" content=\"en_US\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:type\" content=\"article\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:title\" content=\"November artist of the month: Seppo Nikkinen - Espoon Taidelainaamo\" \/>\n<meta property=\"og:description\" content=\"As a professional visual artist, I have depicted landscapes and living reality through various stylistic approaches.
