Eyes on Finnish artist Riikka Sormunen.

Born in Helsinki in 1987, Riikka Sormunen is a Finnish artist who creates sensual illustrative paintings. Her feminine artworks combine rich colors with inspirations from artists such as Gustav Klimt and contemporary fashion styles. With a narrative approach, Riikka Sormunen paints rich scenes that draw the viewer into their spell. The characters in her paintings often have this special facial expression, which is very typical for her work. They seem kind of tormented and exhausted. Her artworks always leave questions unanswered giving the viewer some space for their own interpretations. Some paintings of her rich portfolio can be found below.
