Description:
The figurative paintings of the Finnish artist Antti Maunu feature portraits of women captured in  moments of harmony. His imaginative use of colours and the relatively abstract backgrounds combine with modern themes, styles, postures and forms that often highlight provocative or surprising details.

Antti Maunu (53) is a lawyer working in Brussels and a self-taught inspirational musician who started painting at the age of 50. His inspiration draws from his inner call for aesthetics in a regulated and rationalized daily environment.  He is fascinated by "the mystery of beauty" that often lies in unexpected details deeply subjective to each viewer.

It became clear that promotion of an art exhibition is an infinite task should everything be done perfectly well: customized invitations, social media, public media, art circles (gallery customers, art journalists and professionals, art schools), surrounding cafes, bars, small shops and restaurants, posters, flyers etc.

Have decided to save at least part of my holidays and focus on the essential: a poster on the door, social media and small-scale catering.
