We warmly invite you to the opening of the BLOOMING exhibition at the House of Contessa @houseofcontessa , in the presence of the artist Vera Höök @hookvera .
The central motif of this exhibition is the exploration of female figures, themes of womanhood, and intuitive expression. Bodies appears not as representation, but as a site that carries weight, memory, hesitation, and persistence. Paint drips and accumulates as experience settles into the body—nothing is wiped away. Expression becomes an act of permission and a claiming of space without justification. Becoming is a continuous act of bearing.
Come. Feel. Enjoy.
We look forward to welcoming you to this sensual and powerful experience.
Ink & Relax ✨
An evening of magical & intuitive ink painting, soft conversations, creative flow, and shared stillness.
Thank you to everyone who joined this special session and filled the space with such calm, openness, and beautiful energy. Watching each painting unfold in its own unique way was truly inspiring.
No pressure, no perfection — just intuition, movement, ink, and presence.
Grateful to create and share this experience together at Odd Space alongside my exhibition 💫
InkAndRelax guided by Vera Höök

The Artist’s Table Keskiviikkona 20.5. klo 18.00 – 21.00 Confidants studio & House of Contessa kutsuvat sinut ainutlaatuiseen iltaan, jossa taide ja hienostunut illalliselämys kietoutuvat yhteen. Herkullisen illallisen loihtii ravintola La Boheme.
Ilta tuo saman pöydän ääreen taiteilijat @kestilajohanna@tieahojenni ja @hookvera , jotka avaavat teostensa taustoja, ajatteluaan ja luomisprosessinsa kerroksia intiimissä ja vuorovaikutteisessa hetkessä. Keväinen illallinen juomatarjoiluineen House of Contessan inspiroivassa ympäristössä tarjoaa harvinaisen mahdollisuuden kohdata taide henkilökohtaisesti: keskustellen, kokien ja aistien.
Liput nyt holvikaupasta sekä linkki biossa:

Absolutely Fabulous
A quiet kind of confidence—soft, sharp, and a little undone.

2.3 MAHDOLLISUUKSIEN TAIDE
It was a pleasure to be part of the Possibilities of Art event! This time, my artworks took on a different role as part of the stage, providing a visual backdrop for Marika Aro’s inspiring talk. Seeing your work in a living context—where it sparks conversation and supports a story—is always a special feeling.
For me, it is a matter of the heart to explore and promote the positive impact art can have on human well-being. The day was filled with bold perspectives and people who believe in the power of creativity—how collaboration and an open mind can truly create something meaningful.
Thank you to the organizers @annasfantasyreality@yourconfidants@scandichelsinkihub@laurakoonikka
for the wonderful energy.
And a huge thanks to all the amazing speakers, including @amoring@tiinatikander@susannamakaroff@temnikovaaglo@iines.korhonen
It’s a joy to collaborate and build spaces where creativity is seen, supported and felt. ❤️
— therefore special thanks to @_marikaaro_@houseofcontessa
