Hanna-Kaisa Korolainen is Finnish multidisciplinary artist, designer, and researcher. She started out as a photographer, specializing in autoportraits and polaroids. She later moved to France to work in the field of fashion and nourish her aesthetic through the decadence of the Parisian rock scene, French countryside antiques markets and Saint Laurent. A decade later she returned to her native Finland, and after designing prints for Marimekko she has concentrated on art textiles (rya rugs and silk jacquards), glass and ceramics.

Korolainen has shown her artworks in exhibitions in Finland and abroad, from Beijing to Milan and New York. Her latest exhibitions include, for example, EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art, Design Museum Helsinki, Craft Museum of Finland, Ostrobothnian Museum, the historical art nouveau site Hvitträsk and Collectible Fair in Brussels. In addition to her artistic practice, she teaches at Aalto University, Department of Design. Her dissertation "The Making of Inspiration – from Monet to Warhol and beyond" was published in May 2022.
