Henni Alftan is an artist from Helsinki who is known for her figurative oil paintings that depict intimate scenes of domesticity and the everyday. Her artwork features rich colours and smooth brushstrokes. Her paintings often feature sharply-cropped details creating minimal compositions that draw attention to the quieter moments of life. Alftan's painterly style is reminiscent of American artist Alex Katz and Italian painter Domenico Gnoli. Alftan is the recipient of a number of grants and prizes including the Young Artist Grant from the Finnish Art Society and the Stina Krook Foundation Grant, both in Finland. Alftan currently lives and works in Paris, France.
