Kristiina Hataaja at her studio. |
I had not thought about the look
of the woman behind the stunning
Insta art account @kristiina.se
that by following her
sculpture process and
enjoying the shapes she was creating I had somehow imagined someone much older and not so young and gorgeous. I was wrong.
Here was Kristina Hataaja.

Sadly our first meeting was over plagiarism. Kristiina came to
my studio on Södermalm.
She as well as I have created
unique products that had been copied
and sold by competition
although everyone can
see that its
a copy.
Since bringing in the law in this area has not proved a succsessful endeavour even for world brands what strategy can you follow to protect your interest was what our fika was centered around.
Therefore it makes me very proud
to present
Kristiina Haataja
that gave us the permission to displaying her unique work at
Halmens Hus in my exhibit
Straw in interiors 2019.
Halmens Hus is located in the picturesq Dalsland town of Bengtsfors
known for lakes, channels & waterways.

Here is first a Swedish
and then an english presentation
Kristiina Haataja är en konstnär och designer baserad i Stockholm. Den mänskliga anatomin tar sig uttryck i hennes skulpturer där hon har utvecklat en stil som är unika i sina former, men råa och strukturerade i sina ytor.
Inspirationen till verken kommer från hennes intresse för konsthistoria där hon låter antikens kroppar möta kubismens strama linjer. Därför kallar hon sin stil för Antik kubism, en sammanflätning av dessa två element. Skulpturernas olika karaktärer såsom drömmaren, tänkaren eller det enskilda ansiktet låter betraktaren visionera vad de kan uttrycka. Skulpturerna har också namn som har speciella betydelser.
Kristiina har under åren exponerats i en rad internationella tidningar och figurerat i olika sociala kanaler. Hennes konst har agenturer och showroom i nordiska städer såsom Oslo och Helsingfors, men även i Europa, Amsterdam och Milano, samt i Sidney, Australien. Skulpturer har också köpts in till större residens exempelvis gamla anrika hotellet Lutetia i centrala Paris samt slottet Château de L’Estang i Sancerre via hennes agent Atelier 27 i Paris.
