Iidu Tikkanen (born 1983 in Jyväskylä, Finland) currently lives and works in Tampere, Finland.
The central themes of Tikkanen’s artistic work emerge from the cyclical nature of history and memory. For her the act of painting is to make visible the interconnected patterning of the world. Her practice is based on painting, but she also uses multidisciplinary methods to explore the sensuousness of the medium.
Tikkanen graduated from the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts in 2014 with a Master’s degree. She has taken part in group exhibitions and has held several solo exhibitions in Finland and abroad.
