Eeva Nikunen
I'm Eeva Nikunen, an illustrator and fantasy artist bringing imaginative worlds to life from Finland.
I currently illustrate a lot of book covers, colouring books, greeting cards, and other stationery products. My clients are primarily from the publishing industry in Finland, the United Kingdom, and the United States. I work fluently both in Finnish and English.
I often depict imaginative human and animal figures, combining elements of fantasy with rich textures and layered storytelling.
Most days, you’ll find me in my cozy home studio in Vantaa, Finland, painting or drawing with a cup of coffee by my side and my black rescue cat, Edgar, keeping me company.
I'm interested in a variety of illustration projects. You can contact me directly by email at eeva@eevanikunen.com. I’m looking forward to hearing from you!
