EMMA AINALA

Emma Ainala, (b.1989), Helsinki.

Lives and works in Savonlinna, Finland. 

 

Girly, quirky, kitsch, sexual, psychological, and mythical are terms frequently used when pinpointing and interpreting Ainala´s paintings. A world where feminine figures and hybrids play a significant role and where a myriad of symbols and references unfold. The interiors and landscapes are luscious and exaggerated. Time is warped and we find ourselves in a digi-disney after dark where everything is spirited.

 

Emma Ainala presents us with elements previously excluded from pictorial art for reasons of male chauvinism but which the artist brings to our attention with a BANG!

 

Notable collections include; The Niemistö Collection, Mikkeli Art Museum, Oulu Museum of Art OMA Collection, The City of Oulu Collection, The Collection of the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts, The Saastamoinen Foundation's Art Collection, Lars Göran Johnssons Samling, Turku Art Museum, Jyväskylä Art Museum, Finnish Art Society

& Kerava Art Museum.
