JANNE RAISANEN AT GALERIE ANHAVA, HELSINKI
|
|
'I really like the superficial. If you really immerse yourself in the superficial, you'll really end up in deep waters. I don't know how to swim, but there you can swim undisturbed. And you won't drown.' Janne Raisanen gives a glimpse into his paintings which are currently on view at the Galerie Anhava in Helsinki.

|
|

Catch her new work at Galerie Anhava, tonight.
