Slovensky: Umenie je bránou k možnostiam mysle

Korpela je maliar, ktorý sa zaoberá s témami naplnenia, potešenia, útechy aj bolesti. Jeho maľby formuje do priestorových inštalácií a často odkazujú k histórii a dnešnými ideálom. Východiskom jeho práce pochádzajú zo širokej škály konceptov týkajúcich sa ľudskej existencie. Svoj maliarsky materiál sa snaží prezentovať takým spôsobom, aby vznikla sieť asociácií kde sa vnímanie a koncepty spájajú s telesnými reakciami a tvorenými formami a štruktúrami.
