The artist Eeva Peura invites viewers into a melancholic, surreal world where reality merges with history and myth. 

Recently, Eeva Peura has embraced an ever-expanding range of subjects in her paintings, which often feature recurring motifs such as animals, theatrical stages, and intricate marble details. 

Inner worlds take shape in visions of flowing water, silk-threaded deer, watchful wolves, and blossoming forms. 

Drawn to the uncanny dimensions of existence, she explores the vast and varied spectrum of human emotion. Ultimately, her paintings strive to capture something essential about what it means to be human.

Drawing on art history is a defining aspect of Peura’s practice. Her paintings are rich with symbols and visual worlds that weave together historical events and realms of myth. 

In contemplating Peura’s work, one senses its deep connection with the continuum of art history.

Eeva Peura (b. 1982) graduated in painting from the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts in 2011. She has presented her work in numerous solo and group exhibitions in Finland. 

Her works are held in several major Finnish collections, among them the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, the Turku Art Museum, and the Vantaa Art Museum Artsi.
