KAARNA Art Management represents nature-centric, Eastern Finnish artists. We curate unique art works and events for private and public collections.
Our art carries the power and soul of Northern nature, which nourishes the deepest essence of being a human, and strengthens our connection to the earth.
We represent visual artists, musicians, poets, textile artists, and master craftmakers.
Our KAARNA Gallery is located at Torikatu 29, Joensuu, Finland.

FROM THE DEEP-TIME SOUL OF THE NORTHERN NATURE
We represent artists whose works draw inspiration from the northern nature soul, for example from animist-shamanistic traditions, mythologies and the sacredness of nature.
The works tell stories of enchantment, sacred places in nature, animals, mythical creatures, seers, shamans, other visions and alternatives. They remind us of the miracle of nature's birth and life, the beauty and power of nature. Our vision is to create balance and connection with nature through the enchantment experienced through art.
Our value is based on respect for the different paths of the artist's path: We value the art of self-taught and alternative artists in the same way as artists who graduated from art academies and universities. Everyone has their own story and path.
Join us on a journey through art deep into nature.
