About the artist
I am a Finnish-born, currently UK based digital artist who specialises in realism and creating visually believable, atmospheric paintings in Photoshop. I have been a full time freelancer since 2015 after graduating from Norwich University of the Arts with a BA in Illustration.
I am heavily influenced by the natural world around us, both the creatures and environments – there’s something about all the different textures especially on animals that keeps me hooked and feeds my attention to detail.
You can contact me by email at contact@johannatarkela.com or through the contact form.
Recent clients include LBYR, Sanoma Pro, University of Helsinki, HarperCollins, Hachette, Smithsonian, Bulletproof Brand Agency and more.
