Makasiini Contemporary is one of my favourite art galleries in Finland
Makasiini Contemporary holds a special place among my favorite art galleries in Finland. The idea of having an exhibition there sounds incredibly exciting. Situated in Turku, right next to the stunning Tuomiokirkko, the gallery space is not only beautiful but also bathed in natural light, making it an ideal canvas for showcasing art. What truly sets it apart is the exceptional selection of art they curate. A dream venue for any artist.
New York New York
I'd absolutely relish the chance to spend a month to a year in the bustling heart of New York, where I can create art, showcase my masterpieces, and savor apples in the 'Big Apple.' It's a 'crisp' plan, isn't it? Just imagine my painting 'Leap of Faith' adorning the walls of my imaginary New York apartment.
Serve bread with FIESTA every day

Musée d'Orsay, my favorite art museum in Paris and perhaps the entire world
Musée d'Orsay, art museum, is a treasure trove of artistic wonders. This iconic institution boasts an extraordinary collection of Impressionist, Post-Impressionist, and Art Nouveau masterpieces. But it's not just the art that captivates me; it's the building itself, a former railway station turned architectural marvel. Its grandeur and history inspire as much as the art within. For any art enthusiast, a visit here is a journey through time and creativity that leaves an indelible mark.
