Siiri Jüris
Siiri Jüris (1992) is an Estonian painter currently living and working in Uppsala, Sweden. She holds a BA and MA in Painting from the University of Tartu (2015, 2017) and an MFA from the Royal Institute of Art in Stockholm (2021). Jüris’ work explores themes of emotional communication, care, belonging, and coexistence. Using archival materials and personal memories as a foundation, interwoven with fictional narratives, she creates immersive worlds saturated in color, where figurative and abstract, synthetic and organic, traditional and digital visual languages converge.
Recent solo exhibitions by Siiri Jüris include “like an echo in the dark, warm twilight” (Tartu Art House, 2026); “to melt into your soil and sprout as a flower” (Tütar gallery & Galleri Duerr, 2025); and “as the day fades into midnight hues” (Galleri Duerr, 2022). In 2026, Siiri Jüris was awarded the Uppsala Municipality Cultural Grant; in 2024, the Tartu Art House Young Artist Encouragement Award; and in 2020, she was named a laureate of the “Young Tartu” competition. Her works are included in the collections of Jönköping and Dalarna County in Sweden, as well as the Art Museum of Estonia.
Siiri Jüris is represented by Tütar gallery.
