Tapani Olavi Aartomaa (7 May 1934 – 27 October 2009) was a Finnish graphic designer, who received much attention in Poland.
He designed several hundred posters and book illustrations and received national and international recognition, exhibiting notably in Poland, Germany, Russia, Estonia and Sweden but also in Cuba and Mexico and the far eastern countries of China and South Korea.
Their output includes numerous cultural, advertising, and public service posters produced using a variety of interesting graphic art techniques and characterized by a decisive, poetic use of color.
[...] In their posters I find all that I associate with Finland – a country unusual for its natural environment, architecture, and design.
"[1] Aartomaa's artistic style is characterised by heavy use of primary colors often with an ascetic composition and typographic pictural form.
