Kosti Meriläinen is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Finnish National Gallery.

Kosti Meriläinen painted a single self-portrait titled Omakuva. The work comes from a moment before modern art movements took firm shape, when artists still focused on direct, unfiltered looks at themselves. The brushwork and palette feel plain and personal, like someone studying their own face in a quiet room.

See how the background fades away, leaving only the sitter and the quiet intensity of observation. Tap Omakuva to view the painting up close.
