Raisa Raekallio & Misha del Val: You Wouldn’t Believe What I Saw on My Evening Walk Yesterday

Raisa Raekallio and Misha del Val have painted together for over a decade. Their collaboration is grounded in deep trust and mutual attentiveness – an atmosphere that allows both to express themselves freely, unbound by predefined roles or limitations. Their works emerge from a shared space where each voice is heard. 

For them, the studio is not only a place of work but a site of community, where trust and dialogue merge into a single creative process. Rather than diminishing their individuality, collaboration amplifies their respective strengths, giving rise to a unique shared reality. 

The painting process unfolds as a dialogue not only between the two artists, but also with the work itself: together, they listen to what the painting wishes to say, following where it leads. 

Gradually, each work begins to reveal its own character, and the artists respond sensitively to its guidance. 

In the works of this artist couple. a dreamlike, gently distorted world unfolds from the majestic, snow-covered landscape.

Raisa Raekallio (born 1978, Kittilä) and Misha del Val (born 1979, Bilbao) have exhibited widely in Finland, the Nordic countries, and internationally.
