Anja Puntari

Born in 1979 in Germany, the Finnish audio-visual artist Anja Puntari, known for her poetic and intimate artistic approach. Lives and works between Helsinki and Milan, she explores themes of nature, landscape, and the relationship between humans and their environment through her work.

Puntari often captures fleeting moments and subtle details, creating images that evoke emotional depth and contemplative tranquility. As she says herself, she prefers to see her artwork as active subjects, connected both to ourselves and the world that surrounds us. What makes art so interesting, she believes, are the new meanings that are and should be continuously generated, interpreting a piece of art not in isolation of its context, but in relation to other artwork and the time and space in which they exist.

Through her photography, she invites viewers to reflect peacefully on nature and humanity’s place within the natural world.
