Born in Warsaw in 1979, Ewa Finn grew up in the Giant Mountains in south-west Poland. She has lived and worked in Berlin since 1999. She studied Fine Arts at the Berlin University of the Arts. From 2006 to 2007 she was a master student of Prof Dieter Hacker.

In her works, Ewa Finn tells of alienated creatures entangled in the contradictions of absurd existence. In her large-format figurative oil paintings, she emphasises a simple and clear composition. This is also expressed in her brush drawings, whose stylistic means are even more reduced.
