Hahmotelmia
Tommi Toija has a gentle but honest look towards people. His human image is brutal, yet it contains human sensitivity. The different facets of humanity are shown in a nuanced way, nothing is slicked or polished. The works are portraits of contemporary human wondering at the world around them. Toija’s way of reducing people to expressive but fundamentally similar figures is accessible. Both their inner world and their outer being exude real experiences and real life.
