# Eva Samule — Artist > Eva Samule is a Latvian-Norwegian contemporary painter and mixed media artist based in Oslo, Norway. Winner of the scan.art Prize 2024. Her practice explores identity, displacement, belonging, and emotional memory through tactile, organic surfaces and an interplay between minimalist aesthetics and raw natural materials. ## About the Artist Eva Samule (born Latvia, based Norway) works primarily in painting and mixed media. Her work is rooted in personal history — a broken childhood, the experience of not belonging, migration, and the search for identity.
