Veli-Ville Sivén
Scenographer and media artist
Veli-Ville Sivén (b. 1993) is a Helsinki-based scenographer working with light, space and video, as well as a media artist and musician. He holds a Master of Theatre Arts in Lighting Design from the University of the Arts Helsinki and works across theatre, exhibition and performative contexts.
His artistic practice explores how light can connect physical scenography and moving image into unified spatial environments. Working with minimalist structures and precise visual compositions, he often uses video to extend stage space and create immersive perceptual experiences.
Sivén’s work has been presented in theatres and exhibitions in Finland and internationally. In 2024 he received the Valosäde Award for his lighting design for Tove Teuvalla Opera.
