Through her work Hanna Peräkylä addresses the human relationship with the environment, consumption and memory. In her latest works, she explores the definition of landscape, its incompleteness, and the ways it is re-shaped and short-sightedly patched up. Her work consists mainly of varied textile works, paintings and installations, which contain both reused ready-made objects and randomly shaped found objects alluding to the construction industry. Her works are characterized by a strong feel of the material, a sense of sculpture, and an exploratory approach to the diversity of painting.

Hanna Peräkylä is currently studying for a Master of Fine Arts degree at The Academy of Fine Arts in The University of the Arts Helsinki. She completed her Master of Arts (Textile Art) degree at the Aalto University, School of Arts, Design and Architecture, in 2013. Peräkylä has been active in holding solo and group exhibitions since 2007.
