Gerda Hansen Estonian, b. 1994

Gerda Hansen (born 1994) obtained her Bachelor’s degree in painting from the Estonian Academy of Arts and her Master’s degree (2025) in contemporary art at the same institution. Her artistic practice revolves around the fusion of material and digital realms. The motifs in her paintings emerge from a visual dialogue between the artist and artificial intelligence. Hansen’s works feature peculiar forms reminiscent of real objects and situations, yet they evoke a sense of contradiction and strangeness, prompting viewers to question the boundaries between reality and the imagined worlds. Hansen has exhibited her work in Estonia, Latvia, Lithuania, and Italy, and was awarded the Adamson Eric Young Artist Scholarship in 2023.
