Iines Niemelä

Iines Niemelä (b. 1995) is a Helsinki-based ceramic artist and designer. In her ceramic tile works and reliefs, she explores themes of continuity, contrasts and fragility, reflecting on her observations of nature and her understanding of time. Through clay, she organises, fragments and reshapes her memories, seeking connections between the past and the present. Juxtaposition, pushing the limits of the material and the search for harmony are central to her artistic practice.

Niemelä graduated from the Aalto University School of Arts, Design and Architecture in 2022. Her work has been exhibited at Helsinki Design Week (2020, 2023), Guadalajara Art Days in Mexico (2025), Lokal Gallery (2025) and other group exhibitions in the Helsinki metropolitan area.
