Linda Sofia Tidenberg (b. 1994, Finland) is a Finnish glass artist whose work explores the quiet intelligence of materials and the living spirit of nature. Guided by an animistic worldview, she approaches glass as a companion rather than a tool—alive, responsive, and full of memory.
Her hand-blown installations invite touch and presence, transforming glass from a delicate object into a medium of connection. Through rhythm, breath, and the physical act of making, Tidenberg studies how material can hold emotion and how sensory experience becomes a form of knowing.
Influenced by research on tactile perception and the body’s role in cognition, her practice challenges the distance often placed between artwork and viewer. Each piece reflects a belief in the reciprocity between human and nature—transparent, luminous, and enduring.

“Ancient Baltic-Finnic belief is filled with symbolism, stories, and deep respect for nature—offering a timeless foundation for visual and narrative art. Through my sculptures, I weave these traditions into glass, bringing old stories into new hands and helping both the culture and the craft endure.”
