Einari Hyvönen (b. 1989) is a Helsinki-based visual artist working within the field of post-digital painting. His practice investigates collective consciousness, ecological unease, and the understated humor embedded in contemporary experience. Through layered, symbolic compositions—often punctuated by discreet smileys—Hyvönen constructs visual worlds that oscillate between clarity and ambiguity, inviting viewers to consider the subtleties of modern life.
Hyvönen holds a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Academy of Fine Arts, University of the Arts Helsinki (2021). His recent exhibitions include solo presentations at Makasiini Contemporary, Forum Box, and Galleria Halmetoja, alongside group exhibitions at Mänttä Art Festival, the Oulu Museum of Art, and the Aine Art Museum. His work has also been shown widely across Europe and at international art fairs, including Miami Beach.
Hyvönen’s paintings are represented in several notable collections, including the Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma, the Finnish State Art Commission, and the art museums of Tampere and Oulu.
