ABOUT

REETTA HILTUNEN (B.1980) is a Helsinki based multidisciplinary artist and printmaker, working extensively across various creative fields, including painting, printmaking, fashion and surface pattern design. Over the years, her art format has distributed a narrative and aesthetics towards art and design. Her works have been recognized with awards and exhibited internationally.

As a creative entrepreneur, Hiltunen manages her own Ateljé in Helsinki (Ullanlinna District) and runs an art-focused design brand. She actively contribute to the creative community and currently serves as a board member of Finnish association for designers, Ornamo Art & Design.

Reetta’s art practice is rooted in figurative art and geometric pattern making. Her works, often created through a combination of drawing/painting (airbrush on paper), collages and printmaking seamlessly combine contemporary art and design. Her visually rich and fairy-tale-like artworks, where colors, shapes, and figures merge in aesthetic style, also transcend traditional art to functional designs, such as surface patterns and everyday objects.

Her art-driven brand is dedicated to creating designs from her own artworks, with a strong emphasis on high quality. Carefully crafted collections, rooted in craftsmanship, are ethically and sustainably produced in Europe.

The collections carry the Design From Finland mark. Visit the shop.reettahiltunen.com to discover more about Reetta’s art-orientated design label.
