Mila Sievänen

My practice focuses on creating oil paintings that bring together abstract and figurative forms of expression.

I work in a fast-paced yet intentional way, allowing spontaneity and careful decision-making to coexist. I am interested in people's natural gestures and mannerisms, and in how drawing and painting can emerge from ordinary, everyday movements.Through my work, I explore the bodily memories left behind by human encounters.

The imagery in my paintings is shaped by fleeting gestures, memories, and the ways in which time gradually alters and distorts our recollections.
