My plan for a <\/span><\/span>1-month<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>residency<\/span><\/span>\u00a0in Tartu was to\u00a0<\/span><\/span>focus<\/span><\/span> mainly o<\/span><\/span>n Lithography.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>As usual the plans changed a little bit on\u00a0<\/span><\/span>the way!\u00a0<\/span><\/span>The weather changed them.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>I have never\u00a0<\/span><\/span>experienced such a warm May!<\/span><\/span>\u00a0Instead of having a bit unreliable but beautiful spring\u00a0<\/span><\/span>time<\/span><\/span>, I<\/span><\/span> was welcomed in Tartu with a full blast of the hottest summer weather.\u00a0<\/span><\/span>The waking nature and warm weather lured me into walking on the streets of Tartu, enjoying the green parks and\u00a0<\/span><\/span>seeing<\/span><\/span> the adorable wooden buildings with all of the beautiful\u00a0<\/span><\/span>color<\/span><\/span>–<\/span><\/span>combinations<\/span><\/span>. The apartment, where I\u00a0<\/span><\/span>stayed during the Residency,\u00a0<\/span><\/span>was<\/span><\/span>\u00a0located basically next to the botanical garden. The waking and flourishing nature inspired me to compare it to Estonia itself. I was amazed to learn more about Estonia’s history and how, despite all, the people have kept their culture and identity!<\/span><\/span>\u00a0 It worked as the main theme for my Lithography piece, which was named “<\/span><\/span>Kokemukset<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>menneest\u00e4<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>luovat<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>t\u00e4m\u00e4n<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>hetken<\/span><\/span>“, roughly translated<\/span><\/span>: The e<\/span><\/span>xperiences of the past\u00a0<\/span><\/span>create<\/span><\/span>\u00a0this\u00a0<\/span><\/span>moment.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0\"\"<\/a><\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

My<\/span><\/span>\u00a0artistic approach is usually figurative, but\u00a0<\/span><\/span>as\u00a0<\/span><\/span>I was enjoying the surroundings of Tartu so much<\/span><\/span>,<\/span><\/span> it led me to<\/span><\/span> dr<\/span><\/span>aw<\/span><\/span>\u00a0tiny<\/span><\/span>\u00a0cityscapes of the streets of Tartu<\/span><\/span>\u00a0with ink<\/span><\/span>. The short-term r<\/span><\/span>esidency\u00a0<\/span><\/span>definitely<\/span><\/span>\u00a0opened\u00a0<\/span><\/span>my eyes for\u00a0<\/span><\/span>new directions<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>to work on\u00a0<\/span><\/span>and<\/span><\/span>\u00a0I am looking forward to what comes next.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0The time in Tartu gave me a good diversion from everyday life and a fresh perspective to observe<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/span>surroundings and draw inspiration from.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n

\"\"<\/a>I was happy about the possibility to work with Tartu Art College, as they also had the\u00a0<\/span><\/span>lithopress<\/span><\/span>\u00a0that I needed to work with.\u00a0 It gave me the experience to meet\u00a0<\/span><\/span>more new<\/span><\/span>\u00a0people that had the same interests. I felt very welcomed thanks to the people of Tartu Art College and especially the friendly staff of Estonian Print and Paper museum and I wish<\/span><\/span>\u00a0my stay could have been longer.<\/span><\/span>\u00a0<\/span><\/p>\n<\/div>\n
