Eeva
Kukkonen

Eeva Kukkonen is a Finnish visual artist currently living and working in Trieste.

After graduating from the Academy of Fine Arts of Bologna in painting in 2009 she has held various solo and group shows in Italy, Germany, Finland, Romania, Bulgaria, Croatia and Slovenia 

Her work evolves from notions on female experience and lately specifically on motherhood bringing in discussion also the hardships and taboos around it.

Kukkonen wants to question the womans role in the society as a passive stand byer and object of definitions wishing to contribute to a new non-male based narrative on them.

Kukkonen works with painting, drawing, intstallations and in the past years ever more with embroidery.
