Samuli Kuusisto (b. 1983) is a trained painter and works as a visual artist and software developer. In his art, traditional painting methods meet digital image culture, programming and technological thinking. In his works, Kuusisto examines the construction, reproduction and transformation of images between different media. The starting points of his paintings include pixel graphics, hexadecimal color codes and art historical images. A precisely defined color or pixel is transformed into a pigment, surface, layer and hand-made trace in a painting. Over ten years of work in software development has influenced Kuusisto's way of perceiving images also as information, structure and system. In his artistic work, he brings this perspective into dialogue with the history of painting, material and craftsmanship.
