I am Meri Mäntylä, a self-taught artist from Helsinki, Finland

---

My focus is on painting intuitively the color palette of my mind’s landscape. On the canvas the landscape gets harmonious color combinations with strong contrasts and from each painting, the viewer can sense the combination of my sensitive but playful nature.

It’s important to me to always get in touch with my mind when I create and through that, visualize my thoughts and feelings. This helps me to deal with my emotions and calm my mind. Therefore, the best thing I can wish a viewer can have through my art is a feeling of mental identification and calmness of mind.
