Eija Vehviläinen

Eija Vehviläinen is an illustrator and artist based in Finland. Her art is shaped by her surroundings and her beloved hometown Helsinki, like the seaside or the screams from the amusement park. She also draws a lot of inspiration from her childhood environment at her grandparents’ summer place, where she spent her days playing outside in the forest or on an island.

Her works are beautifully composed of blown-up bold shapes in quirky colour combinations, flavoured with some distorted proportions.
