WHO IS EILA
In 1929 Penedo was founded in Brazil. It was a small finnish
colony, to where Eila, then in the age of 13, moved with her
parents. This community of immigrants, in the state of Rio de
Janeiro, is nowadays a prospering tourist village, where Eila
still lives. Now with 86 years, she continues with her art,
the tapestries and paintings, and she is certainly the most
important and well-known finnish person in Brazil.
Eila's atelier is located in Penedo, and her artistic source
of inspiration has always been brazilian colorful and generous
nature. She has also presented her tapestries in Japan, USA,
Sweden and Finland.
