Ateljee Antti Into Virtanen

Antti Into Virtanen (born in 1955) has been a professional artist since 1980. As a passionate and devoted artist has had no secondary income over 40 years, and has supported himself and his family exclusively by his artwork.

Themes Illustrations and objects of paintings vary, including seasonal landscapes, landscapes at every hour of the day with different lighting, as well as portraits, including recent Finnish president couple.
Majority of the paintings are executed with realism; however, repertoire includes naivistic and modern art.
Great awe and respect for uniqueness of Finnish landscape and nature is evident in Antti Into Virtanen’s art, as well as descripting the balance and symbiose of human and nature.

His art aims to please the eye, while supporting the values of preserving nature. Since spring 2016 working has been very challenging due to an eye disease, impacting the vision. Antti has still continued to work, although with more challenges and slower pace.

Continuous exhibition:
• Home gallery (open upon agreement).
• Two glass showcases on the main promenade of Shopping mall Tuulonen in Tuulos, Hämeenlinna.
