Martina

I hope to convey the passion and joy I feel when I enter the world of painting. Perhaps you will find a painting that speaks to you. My greatest inspiration comes from the nature in Finland and Ostrobothnia, which is reflected in my work.

I am represented by "Insel Island Gallery" in the USA and China, where I have participated in several exhibitions, including at Venice Beach, Los Angeles, and at the Google Campus in California – one of my most exciting experiences so far. I am grateful for the gallery's support and for being part of their efforts to uplift female artists.

Additionally, I am proud to be featured in three art books: Nordic Art Guide, European Art Guide, and World Art Guide.

My art

Seeing the beauty in details has always been a passion of mine. After a ten-year break, I have returned to painting with new energy. Painting mindfully and allowing colors and shapes to play their own game is my way of expressing myself. Right now, I am greatly inspired by painting with acrylics and in a more abstract style.

About me

Painting and photography have always been important parts of my life, where I have found joy, balance, and expression. Right now, I am especially fond of acrylics, with their ability to create layers and shifts that make each painting come alive and unique in different lights. For me, creation is both a journey and a meditation – a way to find harmony and grow as an artist.

My dream is for my paintings to evoke experiences and emotions such as joy, calm, and comfort in those who surround themselves with them. My inspiration comes from nature, travels, memories, and my background, from Papua New Guinea to Germany and my home in Ostrobothnia.

I am grateful for my journey in art and hope it continues for a long time. Welcome to join me on this journey!

To help each other

It feels important that we support each other and remember all that we have to be grateful for. That’s why it gives me great joy to contribute to important organizations. In 2021, I made a donation to Nordic Wildlife Care, and in 2020, 2022, 2023, and 2024, I have contributed to Street Children in Nepal.
