Mirja Ilkka
"I paint until I reach a point where I have nothing more to give, and then I stop. A painting is always and never ready. If you're lucky, sometimes you feel it's enough"
Mirja Ilkka studied at Aalto University of Art and Design (2001-2007), graduating with a Master of Fine Arts.
Frida Manuella
”I’ve always felt a strong attraction to the late 18th century and the dark dramatic sense that reflects that time. I find shelter in the shadowed and rumbling images of the unknown, and that is something I strive to capture in my paintings.”
