Minttu Hautala is a visual artist based in Tampere who works in painting and ceramics. Her work is characterised by rich colours and soft, organic forms, and explores the space between recognisable subjects and the imagination.
Hautala’s works evoke an exotic, lush world that feels alive yet serene and misty. Her spontaneous creative process draws on the subconscious, allowing intuition and chance to lead the way. For Hautala, these works offer an escape into an imagined world where fragrant plants and cascading waterfalls provide a refuge from the noise of everyday life.
