Imagine Music by Dasha Pears

The Imagine Music art exhibition by Dasha Pears opened with a very special event. We had the pleasure to enjoy probably the first ever catwalk fashion show in a violin shop by the very talented Juulia Peuhkuri. Juulia’s dresses were featured in Dasha’s Imagine Music photos. The fashion show was accompanied by live classical violin music by Nana yhtye. 

The talented Greek couple Chrysa Panayiotopoulou and Thanasis Gotsopoulou opened the evening with their own greek influenced music. We also has Nana yhtye perform their original compositions for voice and violin. Pavluu pop-up restaurant brought colourful vegan food on the table and Salama Brewing company provided interesting Finnish micro brewery white and black stout to the event.

The beautiful Creatures of Nature art exhibition was opened with a warm event Friday 16th August. Creatures of Nature is collaboration between two artists: international award winning photographer Mikaela Holmberg and award winning floral artist Päivi Lehti.

Manuela Bosco – Talk to Us About Love May 2018

Manuela Bosco art exhibition Talk to Us About Love was exhibited in Gallery Fast Creative 24.5.-20.6.2018 and was available for purchase through Fast Creative Art Shop. 

Talk to Us About Love was a tribute to love. Holy spaces and buildings: temples and cathedrals, midsummer magic, garden parties with friends, oriental living rooms, and bodies of beloved ones tied into a tight knot with each other represent a home of the soul, where the most holy is present.

Manuela Bosco is a Finnish-Italian artist, actress and former top athlete. She has two degrees in art, one in art theory from Jyväskylä University and one in performing art from Rome. She thinks that real art is something that you do not learn technically, but is given to you as a gift through surrendering and opening up. When her first child was born she got a strong internal need to paint. That changed the direction of her life and she is now focusing on painting for her living. 

 ” The most beautiful in life is Connection, without it we don’t have anything. That’s what my art speaks about.”
