Johanna Härkönen is a Finnish-born, New York–based artist. She paints with wax and technology, using software and printers as brushes and pigments to blur the line between abstraction and figuration. Härkönen’s approach is associative and experimental, allowing digital and analog materials, the grotesque, and the spiritual to unfold side by side. Digital fragments encased in beeswax resemble archived fossils of our technological present, glowing like screens yet summoning the sacredness of ritual objects and altars from another time.  Guided by accident and intuition, her works meditate on transformation and the fragile permanence of memory, drawing viewers into a realm where the raw and the surreal converge.
