Estonia, a love story


It was one of these unexpected gifts of life. Unknown country, city, place, people and yet, I felt completely home, welcome and happy. Kondase Keskus is a Naive Art Museum in the city of Viljandi, Estonia. But is much more than a beautiful centre of arts. It is a magical place with amazing scenery and gorgeous, strong and kind people. I had no idea that such place existed and I am really happy life brought me there. It was my last exhibition and somehow it felt like a heavenly present for my carriere. A sign. A secret message from life to make me understand that happiness is made of small, special places and moments like this and nothing in life is permanent, everything unfolds for better chances, new beginnings and growth. My art grew and found love on Viljandi. So did I. 

Thank you Kondase Keskus for this opportunity.

Thank you Estonia, Viljandi and its kind people.

Thank you Harri.

Thank you Mare and Mari.

Thank you Mari, Johanna and Hendrik.

Strong Women

Strong women
We have to be strong.

To know about everything.

To endure.

To resist.

To accept.

To comply.

To insist.

To work hard.

To work harder.

To look good.

To be gentle.

To be kind.

To behave.

To be modest.

To exceed.

To find out.

To fit in.

To survive.

To be a woman in a world ruled by greedy white men is a work of art.

And we are.
