Mikko Paakkola
The work of Mikko Paakkola is a must for anybody who enjoys pure painting. The intense colors are constructed in pigments to show a landscape that forms a panorama of absolute silence. The rude character brings up the Nordic light, the mysterious atmosphere of the midnight sun, but also the unique character of the flat Belgian landscape - the landscape which has strongly influenced the painter.
Mikko Paakkola (*1961) graduated from Turku School of Fine Arts (1981-85) and made his postgraduate studies In...

Petri Yrjölä
Petri Yrjölä maalaa kerros kerrokselta, harkiten ja mietiskellen. Pääsääntöisesti suurikokoisten öljymaalausten lähtökohdat ovat luonnossa – taivas aina avaruuteen asti, vesi ja sen eri olomuodot ja erityisesti metsä ja puut. Näistä elementeistä syntyvät näkymät kuitenkin symboloivat jotain suurempaa ja syvempää.
Petri Yrjölä on tumman valon mestari, pimeän ja tumman kautta kulkija, mutta jossain on aina myös valo. Vellova virta nappaa mukaansa ympäristön värit, huurteinen lammen pinta heijastaa...

STATEMENT
Drawing and painting have been a natural way to express myself since childhood. I educated myself in University of Industrial Arts Helsinki as an interior architect, and practised both design work and art for several years. For the last ten years I've been focusing only on painting.
The primary influence of my paintings comes from ancient history and mythology. I've always been facinated of worn, patinated surfaces, walls, murals, frescos. I start my painting process by creating a multi...
Susanne Gottberg
Born in Ekenäs, Finland 1964 | Lives and works in Helsinki, Finland.
The imagery in Susanne Gottberg’s paintings comprises quiet, tense moments and situations where something has just departed or will soon occur. In recent years, Gottberg has shifted from depicting nature and sceneries to interiors, examining different elements of furniture, studying fabrics and details of patterns. Gottberg challenges the viewer to experience emptiness and the expectations that come with it.

Kari Södö
Ilo ja leikki ovat aina olleet vahvasti mukana värikkäissä teoksissani niin muodoissa kun sisällöissä. Nykyinen maailmanmeno on kuitenkin haastanut nuo positiiviset teemat ja tuonut niiden rinnalle tummempia sävyjä ja kulmikkaampia muotoja.
Veistosteni materiaalina on puu, usein luonnosta poimittuna ja sieltä muotonsa saaneena yhdistettynä veistettyihin ja maalattuihin kappaleisiin.
Rönsyilevät ja monimuotoiset teokset runsailla yksityiskohdilla rakentuvat usein sekä uusista että aiemmissakin...

Maaria Märkälä
I am a bicycle woman and a landscape painter living in Espoo, next to Helsinki, and having a studio at Cable factory, Helsinki. I used to travel to discover inspiration but nowadays I feel like flying is bad for the planet and air travel is usually the largest component of the carbon footprint of frequent flyers. That makes me enjoy more and more of all the extreme seasons that Finnish nature has to offer: everything between the warmest summer, midnight sun and the arctic darkness, quietness and snow...
