About the Item
“Totem of Balance” is a 60 x 80 cm abstract painting by Finnish multidisciplinary artist Emmi Iida, blending simplicity, symbolism, and expressive gesture.
Rendered against a luminous white ground, earthy brown and muted red forms align vertically like a totem — stacked shapes that suggest both balance and ritual. The imagery carries a sense of primitive mark-making, echoing ancient symbols while remaining resolutely contemporary. The minimal use of line and space creates a striking harmony, inviting contemplation on structure, grounding, and the unseen forces that hold us upright.
This piece exemplifies Emmi Iida’s approach to abstraction as a bridge between the elemental and the poetic. With its clean yet powerful composition, “Totem of Balance” is a timeless work suited for collectors of Nordic minimalism, symbolic abstraction, and design-forward contemporary art.

Echo In Motion, Abstract Mixed-Media Painting on Paper by Emmi Iida
Located in Lahti, FI
“Echo in Motion” is an original abstract work on paper by Finnish multidisciplinary artist Emmi Iida, known for her emotionally charged and intuitive compositions that merge gesture, texture, and flow.
This 2023 piece captures a moment of raw movement and organic tension — strokes of gray, black, and ochre interlace with fluid drips and translucent washes. The composition feels spontaneous yet deeply intentional, like a visual echo of a fleeting emotion or thought suspended in air. The exposed paper acts as negative space, giving the piece a quiet balance between chaos and stillness.
Executed with acrylics and mixed media on fine art paper, “Echo in Motion” reflects Emmi Iida’s continued exploration of energy and emotion through abstraction — a meditation in motion, ideal for collectors drawn to expressive yet minimalist works on paper.
