TOSEE SWISS ART MAGAZINE issue 2 – April 2026
”Tapani Piirto (b. 1946 in Southern Ostrobothnia) is a Helsinki based painter whose work is shaped by a lifelong connection to both visual art and music, giving his paintings a quiet rhythm and lyrical atmosphere. Working by the seashore in Lauttasaari, Helsinki – where he also runs Taidesalonki Piirto – Art Gallery Piirto – he creates figurative compositions in which forms dissolve softly, light seems to breathe through the surface and a sense of fleeting poetic presence emerges. In Summer 2026 Piirto returns to Savonlinna for his 28th exhibition in Finland’s renowned Opera City. His work has been shown widely in Finland and across Europe including Sweden, Estonia, France and Switzerland.”
