Inari Kiuru (b.1972 Helsinki, Finland, migrated to Australia in 1996) is a multidisciplinary artist, designer and a mother of two children, living and working in Bulleke-Bek Brunswick, Victoria. She’s known for her experimental, poetic approach to non-precious materials such as concrete, steel and industrial enamel, and for her photographs and installations of locally found discarded objects. The key themes in Inari Kiuru’s work are linked with her Scandinavian heritage, arising from her intrinsic longing for a connection with nature, and the tendency to sensitively observe the weather and seasonal changes. The core of Kiuru’s practice is revealing beauty in ordinary everyday things.

Inari Kiuru has Honours degrees in Visual Communication (Curtin 2002) and Fine Art (Object Design, RMIT 2013) and has exhibited images and objects in curated group exhibitions in Australia, Europe and the USA since 2013. In Australia, Kiuru is represented by Funaki, and her work has been acquired by national and international public collections.
