Marjatta Tapiola (born 30 April 1951, Sysmä, Finland) is a Finnish painter.[1] At the time of her breakthrough in the 1980s the neo-expressionist art style was gaining popularity;[2] however Tapiola's art does not necessarily fit inside these boundaries.[2] Some typical elements in Tapiola's paintings are minotaurs, horses and skulls. Tapiola's newer paintings are said to be characterized by fluent drawing quality and multilayered lines.[3] Recent works often feature network of lines on a pale background.[3]
