Nowadays my beautiful Florence is a magnificent setting for a very interesting, mediterranean spirited exhibition named ”Markku Piri Glass & Paintings A Finn in the court of the Medici “.The great Renaissance Villa Palazzo Medici Riccardi is showing marvellous pieces of the artist/designer Markku Piri till June 4th, the exhibition will move to Rome and then to Venice after that date. The exhibition is opening the celebrations of the100th anniversary of Finland’s freedom in Italy. If you are an art lover or simply a beauty lover you definitely should see this wonderful exhibition that consists of 90 unique pieces that are great examples of the artist’s creativity. The pieces are the proof of Markku Piri’s passionate character, the versatile artist is showing his taste and his inner world by showing his creative ability with a great show of colors, designs and different materials in his vast creation. The pieces are in great symbiosis with the perfect architecture of Palazzo Medici Riccardi which has protected its historical spirit till today.

Piri says the Finns value simplicity and there is always a sense of melancholy but this doesn’t mean he is free of passion just the opposite, Marrku Piri is an artist who is enthusiastic of everything about life and he is a true gentleman that has a deep taste of what is nice and lovely in life and this part of his personality is reflected very well in each and every work of art that he made for this particular exhibition.

Some of Finland some of Italy, some cool colors some passionate examples; you will love this simple and meaningful exhibition very much.

ITALYA’DA BIR FINLANDIYALI

Bugünlerde Floransa’da çok beğeniceğinize emin olduğum bir sergi var. Finlandiyalı sanatçı ve stilist Markku Piri’ye ait “Vazo ve Tablolar Medici Sarayı’nda bir Finlandiyalı” isimli sergi 90 adet cam vazo ve tablolardan oluşan tam bir renk cümbüşü ile şekillerin sanat adına dansını gözler önüne seren çok ilginç bir sergi.

Bir Finlandiyalı olarak her zaman içinde biraz malinkoni olan sanatçı aynı zamanda hayatın içinde olan tüm güzel duyguları da hep yüreğinde barındırdığını belirtiyor. Çok yönlü olan Markku Piri‘nin sergisi sanatseverler veya güzel olan herşey ile ilgili olanlar için çok ideal.
