Narine Nakhshkarian Makela

"I am a visual artist based in Finland, specializing in the fusion of traditional tactile art and modern digital techniques. My creative journey is a balance between the physical energy of impasto painting and the precision of digital design.
My work is deeply inspired by the raw beauty of Nordic nature, the rhythmic patterns of botanical life, and the dramatic light of northern sunsets. Whether I am working with a palette knife and heavy texture paste on canvas or drawing intricate patterns on an iPad, my goal remains the same: to capture the vibrant soul of the world around us.
Every digital piece in my collection originates from a hand-painted or hand-drawn work. I believe that art should be felt as much as seen, which is why I focus on preserving the rich textures and expressive strokes of the original physical medium in every high-resolution print. My art is created for modern interiors that seek harmony, energy, and a touch of organic warmth."
