The work of Mikko Paakkola is a must for anybody who enjoys pure painting. The intense colors are constructed in pigments to show a landscape that forms a panorama of absolute silence. The rude character brings up the Nordic light, the mysterious atmosphere of the midnight sun, but also the unique character of the flat Belgian landscape - the landscape which has strongly influenced the painter. |
