JAZZ & DRAW
Live painting produced by SAV in Lobby, Vantaa, Finland
30th of August 2024
At the Jazz and Draw event, I had the unique opportunity paint while listening to jazz. The live music, performed by the Jesse Vilhomaa Quartet, inspired me and other artists from the Myyrmäki Street Art Triennale to create improvisational art pieces. 
The atmosphere was magical. The evening was open to the public, inviting everyone to experience the fusion of two creative art forms. The event was hosted by SAV Art Collective and Grafia’s street art guild G-Rex, in collaboration with Lobby Myyrmäki.
The event was documented by the photographer Jani Lappalainen, who captured the spirit of the night in these photographs.
