Ursula Sepponen ( born 1978 in Helsinki, Finland) is a visual artist working primarily with performance and video, but also with painting. She lives and works on  Åland. She has been studying art in Finland, Denmark and  Romania. Sepponen graduated as a visual artist from the Novia University of Applied Sciences in 2014. In her performances, Sepponen often uses elements from her stays abroad. She also draws inspiration from her previous career  in fashion as well as travel and tourism industries.  Since the body has always been a key instrument in her work, performance became a natural part of her art already as a student.
Sepponen has been participating in and organizing  performance events in Finland and other Nordic countries.  Her work has been exhibited  in Finland, Denmark and Estonia. Her documentaryfilm  " Ett andra hem" ( " a second home" ) was shown at Filmfestival Vera in 2014.
Sepponen’s work is an attempt to find an understandable pattern for her thoughts on society and life ,  The power to create is affected by her meetings with people. Behind Sepponens work there are different existential questions and a constant striving for freedom; a freedom which can destroy or seduce.
