Milla Kuisma

Milla Kuisma (b. 1980) is a visual artist who lives and works in Helsinki. Her still-life paintings explore impermanence. She constructs her collage-like paintings from multiple overlapping layers that conceal and reveal different stages of the creative process. Through painting, Kuisma examines the tensions between surface and depth, the organic and the artificial, and control and unpredictability.

Kuisma’s work has been featured in numerous solo and group exhibitions across Finland. Her paintings are held in collections including those of the Finnish State Art Commission, Public Art Agency Sweden, and Helsinki University Hospital (HUS).
