On April Fool's Day in 2016, Lahti became my hometown again after having lived in different continents for many years. As a souvenir I brought with me art where the beautiful and the true go hand in hand. I have been studying Chinese ink painting on rice paper since 1981 in Bangkok, Geneva and Lahti. To learn the skills I followed the brushstrokes of the teacher and repeated them often even without a common language. Later after participating in the activities of the Painthouse studio community I was encouraged, for example, to keep painting afternoons and short courses at the Wellamo college.
Also I work on the events of our changing earth with thin rice paper by combining two elements of nature; water and fire on it.
Works from different years are on display in the studio and in the premises of the work community. Upon request, the artist demonstrates both the different strokes of the bamboo brush and the use of Chinese ink and colors on rice paper. At the same time, you can familiarize yourself with the tools needed for work and their placement on the desk. The most enthusiastic can also try how the chinese brush and ink works on the rice paper.
Staircase 23 A can be found at the back of the parking lot in the courtyard, in the left inner corner. Take the stairs to the fourth floor. If you need an elevator, call the Svinski number you’ll find on the lower door and we will guide you to the elevator. On Google maps, the place can be found at the same address as Nick's Dancing ry.
