The inspiring and bright Ateljee-Galleria by visual artist Kristiina Turtonen is located in the middle of the pedestrian street in the Old Town of Naantali.  Playing the piano often attracts spectators inside, as the artist both plays music and works in his studio, which is open all year round.

​

The large, detailed and meticulous pencil works with their bookshelves are Kristiina Turtonen's well-known art. Books are not real, available works, but fictional stories, a flow of thoughts, and a statement in life. The idea that even the smallest thing is worth a book.

Kristiina Turtonen has held numerous solo exhibitions and participated extensively in themed joint exhibitions both in Finland and abroad.

​

The theme and content of the changing exhibitions define the technology, so the viewer gets to know the diverse and  touching art experience. Kristiina Turtonen graduated from the Turku Academy of Arts, where she has also completed specialization studies in contemporary sculpture and is a member of the Finnish Painters' Union.
