Ilona Rinne
Belgium-based artist originally coming from Finland
Ilona Rinne is a Finnish artist based in Belgium. She is currently focusing on printmaking as her primary art medium, especially aquatint & collagraphs but also exploring with drawing, painting and textile. She was always interested in creating and at a young age started working with textiles – knitting, crocheting and sewing. I went to an art school when growing up but eventually felt more limited and discouraged than inspired by the predefined themes. Those years did however give her a good base in art through exploring & experimenting with different techniques. During the pandemic her passion for creating art was restarted as she received a set of watercolour paints as a gift and has been actively building on her art practice since then. She has a Master’s degree in Economics from University of Turku and is currently studying printmaking at Knst. Hasselt.
