ARTINA
Art Exhibition in Ratina, Tampere, Finland
2.10.-29.12.2023
As I reflect on the reception of the Ratina art exhibition, called Artina, it exceeded all expectations. Originally planned for just one month, this vibrant showcase of art lasted an impressive three months.
Among the seven talented artists featured, including Tiia Henriksson, Suvi Nurmi, and others, I had the privilege of occupying an impressive wall solely dedicated to my vibrant figurative paintings. I am thrilled to share that two of my paintings exhibited were acquired for the public art collection of Satasairaala in Pori, Finland.
Despite the exhibition's conclusion, its impact lingers. It offered viewers a moment of escape and introspection amidst the hustle and bustle of everyday life.
As curator Tiia Henriksson orchestrated this extraordinary display, I'm grateful for the opportunity to contribute to such a memorable art event.
