Eveliina Hämäläinen
Eveliina Hämäläinen, MFA (b. 1984), has dealt in her work with phenomena that cannot be seen. The themes of her paintings come from sensory and bodily experiences and presence. When painting she strives for naturalness. She creates the paintings as a continuum, one after another, absorbing her mental landscape.
Hämäläinen is interested on how one substance changes into another. The mental image into real picture and the pigments into painting. When painting the consciousness is within her reach. The spaces in the paintings are like tissues, opening and closing alternately. For her, painting is a longing beside inner visions.
Eveliina Hämäläinen is Master of Fine Arts. She graduated from the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts in 2013. Her previous solo exhibitions Luona (With) 2023 was in Tm Gallery and Viive (Delay) 2022 in Forum Box Gallery in Helsinki. In 2021 the artist participated in the Hetki (Moment) performance with the Circo Aereo in the Finnish National Gallery Ateneum. Hämäläinen’s works are included in the collections of the Finnish State Art Collection, Kone Foundation and Turku Art Museum – Lars Göran Johnsson Collection.
