Sari Bremer om sin teknikk; 
Sari Bremer beskriver sin metallgrafikk som relativt tradisjonell, der hun arbeider med blant annet etsning og aquatint. Men til tross det tradisjonelle aspektet, er det noe høyst utradisjonelt over å la uttrykket, størrelse og fargebruken styre det ferdige verket, fremfor teknikken. Hos Bremer er det motivet som dikterer metoden, ikke omvendt. Hun bruker metalltrykk da det er det desidert beste redskapet for de motiver hun søker å skape. 

Sari Bremer sin motivverden:
Sari Bremer beskriver landskap hun aldri har sett og steder hun aldri har besøkt; hun utrrykker indre visjoner av steder. Det er allegoriske verk, men ikke visuelle helheter en nødvendigvis trenger å fortolke via symbolikken i motivet. Hun beskriver sine verk som bilder inn i en annen verden, ut til glemte fortellinger og forsvunnede myter. Til tross det litt arketypiske i motivene, er ikke bildenes betydning åpenbar; symbolene er fortsatt ukjente. Hun introduserer dermed oss til noe helt ukjent, nesten mystisk. 

"I mina bilder vistas jag i gränstrakter, jag vil att verkligheten och det okända möts."

Sari Bremer (b. 1976) is a Helsinki-based printmaker who graduated from the Academy of Fine Arts in 2001. She works primarily with etching, and her works are built through a layered printmaking process in which line etching, fields of color, and subtle tonal variations create a multidimensional and narrative visual world.

Central themes in Bremer’s work include the cycle of nature, past generations, transience, and the fragile relationship between humans and the environment. Her expression combines magical realism, subtle humor, and visual richness, where layers of history, imagination, and the present moment intertwine. Bremer works in her studio in Helsinki, Finland, and develops extensive, long-term bodies of work that take shape as exhibitions.

In her prints, she explores the cycles of life and nature through ancient trees, past generations, and extinct species. Ancient trees function as symbols of both vulnerability and resilience, while past generations and vanished species appear as ghostlike reflections, reminding us of the transience of all things. Her imagery builds bridges between past and present through magical realism, with nuances of Gothic and the richness of the Baroque.

Her works feature historical explorers, in whose footsteps followed environmental loss and species extinction. These imagined expeditions introduce an element of absurd humor, where history and imagination intertwine and raise the question: do we ever truly learn anything?

Bremer’s aim is to create visual narrative wholes in which the boundaries between the familiar and the unknown become blurred. The works offer a journey through past, present, and future, as well as multiple layers of interpretation, inviting the viewer to pause and engage.

In her exhibitions, she also highlights the layered nature of the printmaking process. The etchings begin as line etchings, upon which color fields and forms are built through multiple stages. By presenting the original line etchings alongside the finished works, she offers the audience insight into the creation of the pieces and the artistic process.
