Karlotta Lainväe ^{Emerging artist}

Artist's country of origin: Estonia

Karlotta Lainväe (2000) is an artist based in Estonia, in her work she focuses on the human search for security and belonging. She also examines how connections to history, nature, and rituals create a sense of safety that protects us yet remains fragile and easily lost. To bring her ideas to life, she uses photography, handcrafts and installations to create a visual world where viewers can reflect on their own internal and external sense of security.

She graduated with a BA in Photography from the Estonian Academy of Arts in 2025. Her first solo exhibition, Where Do I Go When I Follow the Thread?, was held at Uus Rada Gallery in February 2025. She has also participated in group exhibitions, most recently the graduation show TASE 2025 in Tallinn.
