Jenni Hiltunen Finland, b. 1981

Works and Lives in Helsinki, Finland.

Jenni Hiltunen studied art at the Turku Art Academy of Finland (2004). Later, she earned a Master’s Degree in Arts from the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts (2007).

Her work, mainly paintings and portraits, though she has experimented with video, reflects on contemporary cultural representation, in which social networks and the internet are predominant. Hiltunen’s paintings are inspired by situations and moods that were manifested in blogs and fashion ads on the net. Her brushstrokes are bold, the colors are contrasting and full of life.

The Finnish artist has held various solo shows such as Galerie Forsblom, Helsinki and Stockholm; Mimmo Scognamiglio Artecontemporanea Gallery, Milan, and Växjo Konsthall, Växjo, among others. She has also participated in many group shows, notably at the Kiasma, Helsinki; Nordic Contemporary, Paris; Rox Gallery, New York; Space Station Sixty-Five, London; Newbridge Project Space, Newcastle, and Espoo Museum of Modern Art, Espoo.
