Eva Volmerson (b.1994) is an Estonian- Russian artist, currently based in Helsinki, Finland. She is pursuing her studies at the Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki while exploring various artistic mediums and practices. With a background as a ceramic artist and a BA degree from the Estonian Academy of Arts, Eva has also studied animation at the Russian Cinematography University in 2014.

In her artistic practice, Eva engages in an ongoing research that delves into human interactions with the natural world, urban environments, and the human body itself. She approaches her work with an openness to different media and materials, selecting each based on its alignment with the underlying concept and situational context. Photography serves as both a documentation tool and a means to explore the imperfections inherent in film, while clay and wood introduce tactile qualities into her creations. Moving images and sound, on the other hand, delve into the intricacies and hidden aspects of reality.

Eva's artistic practice revolves around two main directions: stillness and nonparticipatory elements, as well as movement combined with interaction. Currently, she is immersed in several projects that aim to explore the connections between human beings and their environment. Through her work, Eva contemplates questions such as the historical ties that shape our present, the appearance of the spaces we inhabit before our existence, and our contemporary relationship with them. Additionally, she seeks to uncover alternative modes of interaction and connection among individuals. In her artistic endeavors, Eva constructs environments within existing spaces, incorporating elements of sound and providing opportunities for the audience to actively participate.

Above all, Eva emphasizes the importance of bringing people together and immersing them in nonverbal environments where they can freely interpret and create their own meanings. By fostering a space for individual exploration and expression, she aims to facilitate a sense of collective connection and shared experience.
