Eva Ryynänen, June 15, 1915 - 18 October 2001) was a Finnish sculptor. She used wood as her medium. Ryynänen studied with the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts School from 1934 to 1939. The artist's debut show was in 1940. She has made
more than 500 sculptures, 50 of
which are overseas. Ryynänen Vuonislahti studio is located 28 kilometers from Lieksa Joensuu. The
studio, Ryynänen's house and the Paateri Church are in the same compound, and
now, are popular tourist attractions. Ryynänen’s husband was a
farmer, Paavo Ryynänen (d. 2002). Ryynänen’s parents were
Juho Åsenbrygg (Honka Lake) and Aino Å., Os Hujanen. Merja gave me this nice card which show’s the
chapel and Lake Pielinen.
The studio, home, gallery-café and chapel of the wood
sculptress Eva Ryynänen are situated at Paateri, in the village of Vuonisjärvi,
30 km from the town centre of Lieksa towards Joensuu.
Her biggest single project, the unique Paateri chapel, was completed in
the summer of 1991. Paateri has become one of the most popular tourist
attractions in Lieksa.
