Marko Hämäläinen

Visual artist and photographer Marko Hämäläinen is a multi-talented figure in the visual arts who could
also be described as a wanderer, a listener to the wind, a lover of clouds and lightning, or
a traveller along melancholic paths. Hämäläinen, like his art, is at once
private and public. He sees the big in the small, embraces the abandoned, and captures images that
are subtle in colour so skilfully that the viewer sees them in full colour. He is an
unrivalled chronicler of nature: individual portraits of plants or an entire swirling landscape
linger in the viewer’s mind like a haiku that ends – yet never quite ends.

Marko Hämäläinen’s photographs tell stories that exist somewhere between the present moment and an imaginary parallel reality
. Hämäläinen’s photographs are atmospheric images
of experience that the viewer can understand; they are relatable. Marko Hämäläinen skilfully
blurs the lines between places and states of being – snow appears warm, and a roadside plant just a few centimetres tall looms
to immense proportions in the viewer’s eyes. Many of the works contain surrealist elements; they are
dreamlike, but above all, enchantingly beautiful.

In the exhibition ‘The Power of Nature 2 – Trees Speak’, Marko Hämäläinen’s photographic works are on display
in various formats at the Keuruu Museum, the Keuruu Local History Museum and the Keuruu
Library. (Eija Keskinen)
