Inspiration
Emma Lina finds inspiration in emotional contrasts, human vulnerability and the quiet tension between control and release. Nature, light and organic movement often influence her compositions, but the core inspiration comes from internal landscapes rather than external motifs.
She is drawn to slow processes where time becomes part of the artwork. Each layer carries intention, creating depth that reflects both presence and transformation.
Background in Economics and Systems Science.
Self-taught artist with over a decade of independent artistic development alongside professional career.
Upcoming exhibitions in corporate environments during 2026.
Ongoing studio development and expansion of large scale material based works.
Emma Lina works in mixed media using acrylic, plaster and sculptural materials applied in multiple layers. Her technique is process driven, where surfaces are built gradually to create depth and tactile presence.
The physicality of the material is central to the work, often resulting in relief like textures that blur the line between painting and sculpture.
Her process begins intuitively, often without a fixed sketch. Layers are added, removed and reshaped over time, allowing the work to evolve organically.
Time is an essential element. Some pieces require weeks or months of layering before reaching their final expression. The balance between control and spontaneity defines the final result.
