Martta-Kaisa Virta
Hey, I'm Ma-Ka, Martta-Kaisa Virta. I have been working as an illustrator since 2012.
I am currently doing magazine illustrations for Kirkko ja kaupunki magazine’s opinion column for the fourth year. I receive the opinion piece every other Wednesday and send the finished illustration to the editor on Thursday. Quick schedules are one of my strengths.
I do a monthly illustration for Mondo travel magazine. I am currently working on 4000 symbols, which I will draw for a communication app by spring 2024.
I'm also working on my comic which is completed alongside other work.
I love all kinds of drawing and I like to paint big with acrylics. My work is layered with ink, watercolour, and digital colours. I’ve been living in Berlin for 14 years, and I have two lovely kids. My husband is also a Finnish artist.
I have many years of experience in magazine illustrations. I have also been praised for my imagination.
I do my illustrations by hand, drawing in ink on paper, but I like to vary the colouring according to the commission, from fully digital colouring to watercolours. I use Photoshop, Indesign and Illustrator as software. I speak German, English and Finnish.
