Sophie Schubakoff
Sophie Schubakoff's paintings are a fruition of her desire to unite Art and Music as the two elements of her passion that have been always present throughout her life. Sophie's roots are in Finland and now she has found a way to join all three together in a way that is deeply personal, exciting, and serendipitous.
This year 350 of Yrjö Kilpinen’s lost Lieds have been re-discovered, 25 of which have been released by the Kilpinen Society for his 125th anniversary, Finland’s 100th anniversary and...

I am a visual artist born in Helsinki, Finland, now living and working in Espoo. I studied at and graduated from Helsinki Free Art School, the professional section. I also studied art philosophy at the university of Art and Design, Helsinki
I express myself mostly by painting, because colors, being so sensual, inspire me.
I also make sculptures and installations which I experience as a good contrast to painting, being more tangible.
My works are...
Kimmo Ojaniemi
Olen pitänyt lukuisia näyttelyitä 80-luvulta lähtien Suomessa ja vähän muuallakin. Teoksiani on lukuisissa museoiden, liikelaitosten ja yksityisten keräilijöiden kokoelmissa. Tekemistäni julkisia teoksia ovat mm. "Gaian silmä" (1998) Turun Myllytunnelissa ja "Dominikaaniluostarin muistomerkki" (2005) Turun Olavinpuistossa.
Turun Piirustuskoulusta (1983-87) valmistuin taidemaalariksi, mutta valtaosa tuotannostani on kolmiulotteista; koneveistoksia, puuveistoksia, rakennelmia, installaatioita...
Katri Mononen
"Pääasiallinen työskentelytekniikkani on akryylimaalaus. Yhdistän siihen spraymaaleja ja joskus öljyvärejä. Olen kiinnostunut maalauksen kokemuksellisuudesta ja tunnistettavuuden rajalla tasapainoilusta. Yhdistän maalauksissani esittävää ja abstraktia ilmaisua ja minua kiehtoo, missä vaiheessa muodot alkavat esittää jotain, milloin ne taas viittaavat vain itseensä.
Maalausprosessini lähtee usein liikkeelle eri lähteistä poimimistani kiehtovista tai häiritsevistä kuvista. Esimerkiksi Red Lake...
Paula Mikkilä
I have been a full-time visual artist for some years now. Before that I worked as a primary school teacher for some forty years. That means I shared a great deal of my creative moments with children and teen-agers. Alongside my work I travelled on art trips, painted, and in particular in the last years immersed myself in the art of sculpture.
My bronze sculptures have featured in a number of juried joined exhibitions as well as in individual exhibitions in Finland. I was also active in art societies for...

Jaakko Heikkilä
” Jaakko Heikkilä realizes a photographic work Beyond photography aesthetically in the filosophical tradition of romanticism of Caspar David Friedrich or an enlightened rationalism of Max Ernst and Salvador Dali. Yet at the same time his work, contrawise, contaradicts this classification. For with his various projects from past and present he stick a finger into the many wounds of societes and cultures today.”
Andreas Vowinckel, Arthistorian, Gologne, Germany

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...
Tarja Tella
Oilpainting, drawing with differend kind of drawing matherials and photograph/still photo are my main artistic medias. Sometimes common art and installation art inspires to get out from own studio. With oil I paint on canvas, acrylic glass and metal plate (f.ex. off set -plate). Drawing means me f.ex. sewing on paper, engraving on metal plate or painting with ink on old newspapers or perhaps drawing red pastel line on asphalt road and brick wall ("Punaista viivaa - Red Line", 2002-2017-).
