Sirkku Rosi (B.1987, Finland) works mainly with aquarelles and performance art. She is interested in the shared state of being between everything cellular; porous skin as a leaking border between one’s body and the environment and circulation of waters through our bodies and through universe. Her works are about coexistence and sensuality in all bodies. In Rosi´s works, plants and humans are laying around, decomposing, and sprouting. Works have a diminutive carnival of the flesh.
Rosi studied both in Aalto University and University of Arts Helsinki. She has had several exhibitions in Finland and abroad and her works are included in the Finnish State Art Collection, Tampere Art Museum collection and Basware foundation among private collections.
