“Tuori’s work begins from the unstable texture of the present. She follows the news and absorbs what surrounds her, letting that pressure settle before it finds form. “The world is so absurd that it feels like fiction.” This sense of distance, where reality slips toward illusion, is not translated literally. It is the condition from which the image takes shape. Painting offers a way to hold conflict without resolving it too quickly. Wit, violence, intimacy, and fragility coexist without settling into a single meaning.

(…)

Her paintings ask how mortality inhabits ordinary life, and how one lives with that knowledge amid comfort. There is an existential undertow here, but also empathy. The works retain tenderness even when they address harsh subjects.“
