International The Art of Basware competition winners announced

Today, leading e-invoicing provider, Basware announced that Tiina-Liisa Kaalamo and Ville Laurinkoski have won the international The Art of Basware competition for young artists. This year’s theme was “Lead the way” and the artists had full artistic freedom to interpret the theme in their own way. The winning artwork “Terrarotta-armeija” by Tiina-Liisa Kaalamo is a mixed technic sculpture consisting of 99 rat skulls and tails, handcrafted with wool, fur and metal. Ville Laurinkoski’s “Hermeneutiikkaa: Europa” is a giant painting. Both works were purchased and added to Basware’s art collection for the sum of 5,000 euros each.

Chairman of the jury, Paula Holopainen of the Finnish Painters’ Union, commented: “Both the winning art works are breath taking at the first sight. Hermeneutiikkaa: Europa by Ville Laurinkoski leads the viewer in several directions and his drawing and painting skills are remarkable. Terrarotta-armeija by Tiina-Liisa Kaalamo shows excellent craftsmanship and is a strong visual experience to its viewer.”
