SUVI KONTTINEN


I am an artist and an art historian (MA). I love to make art and to study art. I just moved to Helsinki after living in Chicago for three years.

I also have extensive curating experience from the Didrichsen Art Museum in Helsinki.

I am currently represented by World Art Media in NY and Art-Exchange. I love to travel and to live and work in different countries. I react to my surroundings with my art.
