gridHelena Kauppila
Helena Kauppila in a visual artist based in Berlin, Germany. She is deeply fascinated with bringing to light the creativity inherent in science. Although Kauppila's work is representational, she derives her understanding of representation from mathematics, which can get quite abstract. Correspondingly, while her colorful canvases may appear haphazard and unplanned, there is a systems thinking behind them. Her work reflects the order of the genome, structure of mathematical theories, and the visceral human connection to nature and intuitive experience. Kauppila holds a Bachelor of Science degree from the California Institute of Technology, and a Ph.D. in Mathematics from Columbia University. In addition, Kauppila is the recipient of the Reginald Marsh and Felicia Meyers Marsh scholarship at the Art Students League of New York, where she studied under Larry Poons and Anita Steckel. She recently completed an artist residency in Istanbul, Turkey, and has had solo exhibitions in Helsinki and New York.

His work demonstrates unexpected correlations between old and new technologies, and issues of consumption, serial design, automated vs labor-intensive processes, are brought to the fore. His works have been exhibited throughout the United States (New York, Pennsylvania, Tennessee, Iowa and other states) as well as Mexico, Egypt and Brazil, and he has received a Pollock-Krasner Foundation grant in addition to several Iowa Arts Council project grants. Chelcea was born in Romania and came to the United States to pursue a PhD in Computer Science. He has received several awards, fellowships and patents in the field of electronic and digital design, which continues to be a major source of inspiration for his art.
