The Finnish artist Maija Isola (1927-2001) is most notably recognized for her global success as a textile designer for the design house Marimekko. Inspired by the diversity of nature, Isola created designs that softened the transition from rural to urban life, bringing life and color to the Finnish people after the Second World War.
