Kaija Hinkula is a Finnish contemporary artist whose work delves into themes of utopia, fantasy, and the construction of future narratives. Central to her recent practice is the exploration of malleable geometry as a symbol of hope, potential, and the imagining of new worlds. Operating within the realm of expanded painting, she creates minimalist spatial experiences that merge elements of painting, sculpture, and time-based media. Her playful and versatile body of work includes sculptural paintings, site-specific installations, and video performances.

A graduate of the Academy of Fine Arts in Helsinki (2021), Hinkula holds a Master’s degree in Visual Arts. She has held solo exhibitions at venues such as Pragovka in Prague, the HAM Gallery at the Helsinki Art Museum, Forum Box, and the Oulu Art Museum. Her work has been featured in group exhibitions including the Pori Biennale in Helsinki, SIC, and Knipsu Fight Cage in Norway. In 2025, she was an artist-in-residence at the International Studio & Curatorial Program (ISCP) in New York, supported by the Helsinki Art Academy and the Saastamoinen Foundation.
