“I wish I could bring beauty to everyone’s home,”
———— Heljä says.
Award-winning Heljä Liukko-Sundström is one of Finland’s best-known ceramic artists and a founder member of the Arabia Art Department Society, who got her honorary professor title in 1994.
In the 1960s, Professor Heljä Liukko-Sundström (born in 1938) was an inquisitive young artist exploring a large ceramic factory surrounded by endless possibilities. Captivated by the beauty of liquid clay, she quickly created an artistic voice of her own. Heljä was soon invited to join the Arabia Art Department on the ninth floor, also known as the Heaven of Ceramics. She reminisces about the artists who worked there, a wonderful set of characters who viewed the world through the eyes of a child. Heljä emphasises that, although the material was the same, each artist had a unique style.
Through her countless ceramic stories, she has done just that. Heljä Liukko-Sundström has always wanted to combine words with clay. Her tales drawn on ceramic tiles have been published in 11 books, some of which have been translated into Japanese and Hungarian. Both her work and books have taken her abroad for exhibitions and shows in New York, Bristol and Tokyo, to mention just a few venues.
One of Heljä’s book, “JÄNIKSEN POIKA“, literally means “the son of the Bunny“, got Hans Christian Andersen ‑Reward!
