Tempra
2026
Acrylic on canvas
Elina Ylitalo
140 × 100 × 3 cm
We’re often drawn to what we want to keep close, even while growing away from it. The tension between holding on and letting go runs through Tempra.
In Italian, ”tempra” refers to the tempering of metal through heat; a process of enduring fire and becoming something new without losing the essence of what was there before.
In Tempra, fire becomes both a force of rupture and a source of transformation.

Eilen Silva is a Finnish visual artist whose practice centers on emotional presence and the strength of the feminine. Her work invites stillness and cultivates a sense of being held, creating spaces that feel quietly intimate, where safety can be found amid chaos.
Her practice is guided by the belief that emotional clarity can emerge through balance, where stillness and movement, softness and structure, grief and joy coexist.
