Information about the artist / the group

My paintings are abstract or semi abstract.
For me, art is a way of life and a way of dealing with things. The process is open and unplanned. Failure is also an opportunity. Watch out for wet paint! Surprises are always possible!

To quote Pessi Rautio, The Editor-in-Chief of Taidelehti:
”Märkälä wants to paint, to bring out the good on the top, so the process must end in something hopeful, full of oxygen and life, light, even what is beautiful.”
”To Märkälä, the world includes objects, good ones that simply must be depicted through painting, not least because they make such good paintings.”
