We would like to invite you to the opening of an exhibition by "Tiina Salo"
To be…but how… An Exhibition by Tiina Salo
This is an exhibition about existence by Finnish artist Tiina Salo, who has been wondering life in Dubai for four years.

Her ‘soul mate’, the wooden puppet has helped her to express some feelings of being. The series is painted with acrylic and drawn with charcoal pen. In another series birds are sharing the same problems with humans; viruses and the lack of quality air.

In the acrylic paintings nature elements like flowers are symbols of individual. Sunflower’s life tells a story of an ego on its different stages. Still the artist believes in being and finds positive opportunities to survive.

Biography of Tiina Salo

Tiina Salo-Devries was born in 1963 in Rauma, Finland. She grew up and was exposed to an environment full of mysterious and natural palettes such as forest, snow, rocks and sea waves. In 1987, she earned a 5 year Textile Design Degree from Finland; in 2000 BA and Specialisation Studies in Handicraft and Design from Kuopio Academy of Design in Finland and in 2002 she received a Masters Degree in Fine Arts from USA.

From 1988 until now, Tiina has sustained an active record of solo, group and collective exhibitions both locally and internationally. Her textile artwork has been integrated in public places and facilities. With Artist’s Group Liite she has made numerous installations, exhibitions and performances. Meantime, she has lectured many topics related to arts and crafts.

Her inspiration and theme of work evolve around study of natural elements, light and colour, found objects and human spirits. Tiina’s philosophy is driven by the fact that art is an endless learning endeavour.
