Finger painting, from the heart of the Ligurian Alps
Anno Tanaro — twelve months in the Ligurian Alps
Six works, painted entirely with my fingers. Originals available for private acquisition — each painting is one of one, signed and dated.
Eight finger paintings and one realism oil hang permanently at a restored cotton mill, now a well-known restaurant in Garessio. The collection includes Tanaro, the 95×95 cm work that became the origin of the upcoming Anno Tanaro series.
For a long time I thought painting was a dream too big for me. Now I know it was simply the only thing I wanted to do.
I'm an Estonian artist living in the Italian Ligurian Alps. I paint with my fingers because it puts nothing between me and the canvas — and what comes out is alive in a way no brush can match.
Born in Estonia, trained in Australia under master Bill Mackay, settled in Garessio since 2023. The forest, the river, the light — they all come into my work.
Alongside my artistic practice, the studio offers traditional realism oil paintings, pencil drawings, and private art lessons — for adults and children, in Italian and English, in the Garessio atelier.
Note: finger painting originals (Anno Tanaro and other personal series) are available for private acquisition — see the portfolio above. Custom finger painting commissions: through my atelier, the emotion in your photo transfers into a work made for you.
