ABOUT

WELCOME TO MY UNIVERSE ☆

I’m LIISA TUULIKKI, an artist and designer based in Helsinki and occasionally working from Paris. My practice centers on slip-cast porcelain and acrylic painting, blending traditional craftsmanship with contemporary influences and collectible culture. The works draw inspiration from art toys, pop art and pop culture, gaming, anime, and the joy of our inner child.

Currently, I’m especially excited about creating porcelain art toys. It’s a space where characters and storytelling meet a material I deeply enjoy working with. Porcelain shifts these works beyond traditional toy production, placing them at the intersection of sculpture, art toys and collectible culture.

From this approach, BUNBUN was born! He’s a curious, slightly mischievous bunny whose world is gradually expanding. BUNBUN loves new adventures and small treasures, reflecting themes of joy, curiosity, and appreciation of simple moments. Through different variations, limited editions, and carefully considered details, his universe continues to grow as stories unfold and new characters join his adventures.

BUNBUN is available across Europe through selected art toy stores and museum shops, including Artoyz in Paris and STRAAT in Amsterdam, as well as through my online shop.

I’ve been running my independent studio practice since 2021, when I graduated from Aalto University with a BA and MA in Arts. During these studies in Contemporary Design, I focused primarily on ceramic products and gradually shifted toward a more artistic direction. The product-oriented education shaped my approach and helps me create collectible-style artworks, where the look, story, and packaging design are all integral parts of the work.
