Finneas Etcher (b. 1997) is an emerging painter based in San Francisco whose work examines the ways in which individuals interact with their environments and objects within, shaping a sense of identity. His paintings highlight the subtle absurdities and beauties of everyday life, calling attention to quiet moments and their deeper significance. 
 

Etcher works primarily in casein on traditionally gessoed panels, using minimal varnish to create a matte finish that allows his work to blend seamlessly with its surroundings. This approach reflects his belief that art should become an immersive part of the space it occupies, engaging the viewer in a dialogue with both the work and the environment.
