AS A CURATOR
Mari Blomroos-Heininen is an active member several artist associations and organisations. She works as curator and exhibition coordinator for galleries and different contents both internationally and in Finland.
She thinks that working as an artist and being curator are two sides of a coin. As making art consists of separate phases, the job of curator is also a creative process as an art itself in the form of an exhibition.
"I believe, that each individual work can gain or loose due to its presentation, and the relationship between the works and its internal tensions can be utilized in an exhibition architecture to produce further values for the exhibition. I cosider that a succesful exhibition is a composition built in individual elements, which each individual element esteem each other."

"Mari Blomroos-Heininen's oil paintings portray flowers as objects of creation, like human beings, expressing their feelings and demonstrating the infinite vitality of life. Everything is presented with a keen touch of a female artist. The works raise a question about the perception of the existence of life. They take us into a soft and floating imaginary world with relaxed brush strokes, lively tones and fantastic (picture) atmosphere. The paintings reflect the Nordic human feelings and experience, and are made with a heartily expressed artistic character."

Associate Professor of Art History in Guangzhou Academy of Fine Arts
"Her journey as a human being in this world runs the creative microcosm of the Finnish artist, becoming a narrative element. She firmly believes that beauty can also exist in the contemporary world, that leads her to create ha rmonious places of art, in which to feel comfortable, where the choice of a "soft" color range envelops the viewer. Flowers or landscapes represent metaphors to express human elements to reflect on the injustices and contradictions of society as well as of an insecure and harsh world. Her research moves between a pictorial part that investigates the figurative side and also its opposite, the installations. Both are languages to create encounters on an emotional level, to give shape to the phenomenology of life. Her artistic world is definately a "deeply personal experience", as she herself says based on her own perceptions and her own interpretation of the world and its phenomena. Everyone approaches art with their own perspective and the great thing is that art allows us to welcome all interpretations and relate them to each other."
