Raija Jokinen

Raija Jokinen (born 1960) is a Finnish visual artist and textile designer.

[1] Jokinen created a unique technique of combining the use of fiber with sewing (machine embroidery).

As a result, she creates works of arts that evoke a light and airy impression but are at the same time considerably durable.

She often depicts parts of the human body such as blood vessels or nerves which are transformed into branches of plants and roots.

Jokinen participated in numerous exhibitions inside and outside Finland, among others in the UK, France, Germany, the US and China.
