Eeva Lietonen (b. 1987) is Helsinki based artist. She is working in the expanded field of painting, primarily using self-made oil paints, fresco technique and metalcrafts. At the heart of her material-drivel practice is the application of traditionally perceived techniques in contemporary art. Her artistic work stems from a need and desire to wonder about, explore, and imagine various forms and connections of existence. An attitude aimed at understanding is about opening up to things rather than seeking to control them.
