Minttu Hautala is a visual artist from Tampere who works in painting and ceramics. Her works are characterised by a rich colour palette, the interplay between recognisable motifs and the imagination, and the organic, soft nature of her forms.
Hautala’s works convey an exotic, lush and vibrant, yet at the same time serene and misty world. The unplanned creative process, springing from the subconscious, allows intuition and chance to take the lead. For the artist, these works are escapist depictions of an imaginary world, where fragrant plants and flowing waterfalls offer a refuge from the clamour of the world.
