Original Pastel Painting by Olli Marttila (2008)

Olli Marttila - Untitled (2008) 
Pastel on paper
Framed size 63 × 83 cm

A vibrant and graphic pastel work by Finnish artist Olli Marttila. The white silhouette of a coffee pot stands bold against a layered background of ochre, orange and charcoal — a composition that feels both grounded and quietly surreal. The texture is rich and matte, with the edges of the board left visible inside a simple black frame. 

Marttila’s work often draws from everyday motifs and still life traditions, but reimagines them with a raw, graphic presence. A one-of-a-kind piece with real presence — perfect for bringing texture, colour and substance to any space.
