Katharina Schmidt is a contemporary abstract artist and art storyteller based in Helsinki, Finland. In her work, she depicts life stories and fundamental questions about existence in a simple yet powerful way. Her passion is presenting abstract concepts familiar to all of us in a different visual format. "The purpose of my art is to surprise and fulfil, to bring peace and excitement - the best part of art is that it has no boundaries and no rules that must be obliged. Art, in its essence, is the unbearable bliss of existence."   Katharina has exhibited her work in Helsinki and worked on several commissioned paintings for clients and collectors worldwide. She enjoys the challenges of bringing her artistic vision to life and creating the most appropriate piece of art for a bespoke space.

Most of the time life doesn’t feel like a steady flow to a certain direction, but rather a summary of lots of moving waves that at times clash into another. But that’s the way it is - accepting disorder and lack of control creates peacefulness. When we have our inner purpose, it will guide us through even the stormiest weathers.

Henna is a Finnish artist who desires to give everyone something beautiful to look at! In her daily life, Henna encounters contrasts that inspire her. She notices them everywhere, including colours, tones of voices, professions, personalities... It is especially evident in contexts such as a distinction between masculinity and femininity, rigidity or softness, power or weakness, and so on. Since her creativity lies in contrasts, she is constantly seeking them out. While on maternity leave, Henna started painting. "She always knew she had the artistic spirit-"it was just like colours bursting out of her.". She finds tremendous joy when time and space allow her creativity to flow freely. She began painting in 2020 and hasn't stopped since. Her passion for painting allows her to travel to places that fill her with joy. Thanks to art, she can be "a rebel"—hang out at her atelier wearing woollen socks, and spots of acrylic paint on her hair. That's a radical change for her! Her work explores how art and science collide. It fascinates her how they both converse on her canvas. Henna's art expresses and captures the complexity of humanity as seen from the unique kaleidoscope of an attorney with a discerning artistic eye. She will transfer assets between the legal and creative worlds on her canvas.  Her dual roles as a critical and creative thinker, an attorney and an artist make her feel privileged and immensely proud.

Natalia was born in 1987 in Bydgoszcz, Poland. She is living, working, having fun, wondering, and inventing in Helsinki, Finland.   With her work, Natalia moves between painting and print-making, finding her language in both. As an artist, Natalia can simultaneously handle large canvases, stamp-size graphics, spatial projections, and live cinema performances.   Natalia has primarily used slide projectors, overhead projectors, and super 8mm, 16mm, and 35mm film projectors. Natalia uses those tools to execute her print-making actions.    In addition, she is fascinated by film history, nature, chemistry, and various film-related materials. Many of her projects are at the intersection of print, theatre, and film.

This painting was created during my studies in my painting atelier at the Art Academy in Gdańsk; Poland. In the studio no. 312 I spent most of my time. I loved that old academy building. I was interested literally in everything there, its structure and architectural elements. This is how I decided to paint this old sink and tap. After all, so many of us, young artists washed there our dirty brushes stained with paint. By immortalizing this element in my painting, I wanted to remember all the stories that took place in studio 312.

Olga has been drawing ever since she can remember, and she learned classical drawing and painting at ten. Olga paints from the heart, hoping others can also feel the emotion in her work. She graduated from the Saint Petersburg Stieglitz State Academy of Art and Design with a master's degree in art.   In 2000, Olga worked for Rovio as a 2D/3D game artist for five years, and now she works for Electronic Arts. The work she has done for Rovio has led to numerous publications. For example, the book "Hatching of the Universe" includes some of her illustrations.   She first participated in an exhibition a few years ago with Soukan Taideseura. As well as private exhibitions in offices and buildings, she also engages in public displays.    After graduating from the Art Academy, she focused on digital rather than traditional art. Nevertheless, Olga returned to her roots a few years ago and continues to paint. Her recent paintings have received overwhelming public support, making them the most coveted prizes she's ever received.

Janne's primary medium is wood. His background is in carpentry. The timber is either sawn off the trunk of a tree or fashioned from plate wood.

This is about how reaching within and surrending into your intuition, you are able to find your dreams and ultimately fullfill them. This was a part of 3 part series - the other two are sold. It’s about vision and intuition. Water represents emotions and subconsciousness. The woman dives deep within, to get connected with intuition. She finds her vision in the crystal ball.

This work was created when I was still using a live model to construct my paintings. In looking at the human body, I always searched for its abstract expression. Changing my observation method helped me to build this unreal body compositions. In these canvas, a trace of a human must be carefully looked for.

This work was made up from a big fixation about staring at printed matter from a very close position. Almost like using a magnifying glass, where you capture all the details. I am fascinated by power of light that converts the printmaking fixation of visual experience into a pure experience of printed matter. Here I experiment with printing on Japanese paper. I build collage composition. It is a story about print somewhere on the borderland of film and theatre.

Välillä jotain täysin erilaista! Olen pari viime viikkoa tehnyt eri kohteisiin kirkkaita neonvärejä ja graffittityylisiä töitä. Tämä on jotain maalauksen ja posterityylin välimaastoa.  Kuuletko musiikin ja tunnetko rytmin? Teos on oodi musiikille ja sitä maalatessa kuuntelin niin klassista, jazzia kuin poppia.

Ukko is a Nigerian visual artist who lives in Finland. It has been quite fascinating for him; he saw his first snow in March 2018 when the plane landed in Helsinki, Finland.   Ukko started his life as an independent artist in 1999 when he retired from the Nigerian Police, where he was working as a graphics artist. Ukko was born with a gift for art, and nothing like drawing and painting satisfies him.   At the early stage of his career as a visual artist, Ukko experimented with different art mediums like watercolours, poster colours, crayons, acrylic colours, oil colours, pastel colours, and more, but his favourite was acrylic, and it still is.   Acrylic colours make him paint faster than his second favourite, oil colour. He has created many styles of paintings through the years; his three favourite styles are BUBBLES, STRIPE LINES and CUBE BOXES.
