Taffel Art Exhibition Flavours at Hotel AX
A free, open-to-all art exhibition in the lower level of Hotel AX invites you to get inspired by bursts of colour and flavour on canvas!
The Taffel-Art Flavours exhibition brings together paintings by Finnish contemporary artists, selected under a shared theme by Finland’s leading snack brand in collaboration with Taidelainaamo (Helsinki Artists’ Association Art Lending Service). The gallery features 19 works from four different artists, all exploring the world of flavours – evoking sensations and associations through colours, shapes, and moods. Each piece has been carefully selected to form a vibrant and thought-provoking experience.
All artworks in the exhibition are available for purchase through Taidelainaamo (the Helsinki Artists’ Association Art Lending Service).
Come and experience really tasteful art!
Hotel AX – Art & Experience. Expect the Unexpected.
Tuulevi Sivunen
The Artist Tells:
“Painting is an adventure into world of colors. At the starting point is an emotional experience, inspired by man, color, light, landscape, something that acts as a travel ticket to the beginning of the adventure. Ready-made painting is the result of a journey where surprises occur. The adventure continues from painting to painting to the unknown. Traveling with love, passion and the joy of life. ” – Quote from the artist’s website.

By elaborating my designer skills and education I have built my artistic vision and ways of doing.

Merja Simberg
The Artist Tells:
“Painting is an adventure where I am an anxious explorer. I want to convey and arouse emotions. I paint abstract and enjoy the process itself. I love observing how the color moves and makes patterns, the tensions contrasts and depth variations. The physicality of the exercise inspires me a lot. ” –Quote from the artist’s website.

Klaus Kopu
The Artist Tells:
“For me, painting is about searching for the outer limits of a painting’s properties and means of expression. My paintings have no story, no dramatic arc—they depict nothing but themselves. There is only painting. I strive to invent new kinds of paintings, and they work, if they work, solely on the terms of painting itself. Even though I plan my painting processes in advance, I always choose different paths—routes that are unknown or still somewhat unfamiliar to me.” –Quote and translation from the artist’s own website
