Tintera is thrilled to present Painted Oasis, the first solo exhibition in Egypt by acclaimed Finnish artist Nanna Hänninen.This show marks the culmination of a three-week residency in Egypt last March, during which Hänninen traveled through Cairo, Fayoum, and Siwa, investigating the delicate and often fragile relationship between nature and humanity. Drawing on her distinctive approach to landscape photography, first developed in her series on the American West, Painted Desert, Hänninen does not offer straightforward depictions of the desert. Instead, through staining and hand-painting, each image becomes a singular, deeply personal response to a shared reality. The exhibition features 18 unique hand-painted archival pigment prints alongside two large hand-painted photographs on canvas, each revealing the artist’s intimate dialogue with the Egyptian landscape.
