Drawings in Ink and Yarn

Visit the cozy little Gallery in the heart of Katajanokka district which is hosting an exhibition by two talented artists Valentina Lachner and Anna Petursson.

Anna Petursson is a Helsinki local going on almost three years now. She works with ink pen on paper because she has always found that there is so much beauty in the crisp, deceivingly simple medium.

The goal in her work is to bring something on the paper to life with just black or greyscale inking. Her biggest inspirations in the art world are: Junji Ito, Hayao Miyazaki, Gege Akutami, and Eiichiro Oda.

Valentina Lachner is a designer by day and textile artist by night. Her soft yarn paintings are handmade entirely from recycled material using the punch needle technique.

The emphasis lies in the slow and meticulous process of creating a sustainable piece of art, where great care and patience is required in order to transform waste materials into something beautiful.

Her biggest inspirations are textures and colors found in nature and the built environment.
