My eye was struck today by an interesting painting, which got me curious in finding out more information about the artist behind it.

Her name is Riina Hänninen

I was excited about discovering this courageous artist whose works speak the same language with my art. Not so many here in Finland!

(I couldn't still avoid conflicting emotions when I saw frames, which resembled lot of Gupla Artframes)

Anyways, this internet search lead me in to the case that I've totally missed: http://www.mustekala.info/node/20

Sad..

This example gives cause for concern, whether the artist's freedom of expression is guaranteed in Finland... and gives me a great reason to stay far away from the system!
