Inka Bell’s artistic practice is a seamless movement between technique, material, and motif, exploring liminal spaces between two- and three-dimensionality. Her paper based works are subtle events of transition, repetition, and transformation where two surfaces come together again and again.

Inka Bell (b. 1981, Espoo) graduated with a Master of Fine Arts degree from the Printmaking Department of the Academy of Fine Arts at the University of the Arts Helsinki in 2021. In recent years Bell has held numerous solo exhibitions, including at Turku Art Museum, Bricks Gallery in Copenhagen, and Forum Box in Helsinki. Her works have been acquired for several public collections in the United States, Denmark, Belgium, and Finland, including EMMA – Espoo Museum of Modern Art, HAM Helsinki Art Museum, and Museum of Contemporary Art Kiasma. In 2024, Bell received the William Thuring Grand Prize awarded by the Finnish Art Society.
