Emma Ainala, FI

Emma Ainala (b. 1989) is known for her detailed paintings that explore feminine mythologies and physical and digital spaces.

The gaze, being looked at, and objectification are recurring themes in her oeuvre. Ainala’s dreamlike paintings are very much connected to the fast-paced online and offline phenomena of today, but, at the same time, reference art and cultural history.

Emma Ainala graduated from the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts in 2013. She took part in the Charlottenborg Spring Exhibition 2018 in Copenhagen. In Finland, she’s had several solo museum shows, and her work has been widely exhibited in Europe, recently in group shows HYBRIDEN in Belgium and Magic Mirror in Greece.
