About service

The finnishpainters website is a platform for visual arts professionals to get acquainted with Finnish painting. We share information and work as an agent between art professionals and contemporary Finnish painters. We do not charge for the service or sell works of art directly. Instead, our mission is to spread the word about these painter marvels of ours and, by doing so, create dreams and collaboration possibilities.

The finnishpainters website is part of the Finnish Painters project, which, in addition to publishing and maintaining the website, develops support services for the painters and establishes contacts with Finnish and foreign actors in the field of visual arts.

We launched the website in October 2021 with 50 internationally-minded Finnish painters. In October 2022, we added 36 painter wonders to the site, and in March 2024, we curated and added another 21 marvellous painters. Altogether, we now represent 100 and some artists!

Are you interested in our artists and collaboration with them? Or do you want to know more about our work? Feel free to contact us and let us know what do you have in mind.
