Kauppila has a distinctive style built on graphic elements and clean lines. In her works, the human world merges with nature-themed elements, creating a world of its own – timeless and without people. Through her art, Kauppila primarily explores the relationship with nature, human behavioral patterns, and everyday themes. At a deeper level, her work reflects global crises affecting the Earth and humanity, environmental concerns, and a certain profound sadness about the horrors of the world and human indifference.
In the Rock’n’roll lovestyle exhibition, these themes are approached through the perspective of music. The works explore emotional states ranging from love to grief, loss, disappointment, and anger, before returning through rebuilding to joy and happiness. The series reflects the way music has shaped Kauppila’s identity and personal experience of the world, as well as the significance music has had in her life.
