Information about the artist / the group

I am Meiju (Merja) Väisänen, a visual artist and film costume designer. People and their stories have always fascinated me both as a costume designer and a visual artist. The human figure, especially the female portrait, is also at the core of my visual art—not as a traditional portrait, but rather as a multifaceted subject of exploration. Currently, I am interested in multiculturalism, marriage, and the traditions and taboos associated with it from a female perspective. I primarily work with acrylic and watercolor techniques, and my works are characterized by bold, intense colors and unconventional compositions.

Program during Konstrundan

During Konstrundan, you can buy artwork, order artwork and also get to know other artists in my studio. At the same time, Meilahti Tilajakamo will also have open doors and visitors have the opportunity see works and studios of artists from different fields.

Driving directions

The premises are located near the Meilahti Triangle Hospital and the building complex is on the corner of Tukholmankatu and Paciuksenkatu. Meilahden Tilajakamo is located in the former old health care / nursing college at Tukholmankatu 10. Stogis - Pieni Aulagalleria (small art gallery) is also located in the lobby of the building. The building does not have its own parking area or guest spaces - use public transport! By bus 25 - stop Tukholmankatu. Bus lines 20, 30, 500 and 510 also come to the area. Likewise Trolleys 4 and 7. Check the HSL route guide for updated information! Accessibility with help: There is a low platform in front of the main door, there are doorsteps and you need help to open the door.
