As I am interested in the Nordic landscape, during the two monts’ (March-April) residency period, I intended to examine the Finnish landscape in different places by photographing, drawing and, finally, creating a new series of paintings titled Suomalainen maisema (“Finnish Landscape”). 14 new paintings were created in this residence (artworks named “Saari” in the catalogue) and I am very grateful for this time to all other artists and Saari staff I met 🙂
