Markus Konttinen:
When the Paintings Arrive

Ja kun perhoset tulevat, jos

                        tulevat,

eivät ne liihota.

Se on niiden tapa kulkea.

Sirkka Turkka, Huone Avaruudessa 1973

 

My exhibition consists of paintings from the years 2024–2026.
My paintings express my vision of creating a living space.
