KUN KAUNEUS EI MAHDU

Mikä on Vinegrett? 

Taideryhmittymä Vinegrett yhdistää eri aloilta tulevia taiteenystäviä, joita yhdistää piilotettu mutta ylitsevuotava luovuus. Tämä johti heidät osallistumaan Viron taideakatemian (EKA) avoimen akatemian maalaustaiteenkurssille.
Vinegrettin taiteilijoiden teokset ovat kuin visuaalinen sekasalaatti – erilaisia ja juuri heidän oman sisäisen maailmansa näköisiä.

Rohkeassa seurassa käy toisinaan niin, että kauneus ei meinaa mahtua mihinkään – tunteet ja taide pursuavat hallitsemattomasti.
Näyttelyssä on esillä erilaisia tyylejä ja tekniikoita: maalauksia, grafiikkaa, sekatekniikkaa ja jopa vaikuttavia veistoksia.

"Jätin taiteilijan tien aikoinaan kesken, koska tunsin, ettei minulla ollut maailmalle mitään sanottavaa. Nyt, parinkymmenen vuoden jälkeen, yllätyin siitä, kuinka paljon minulla olikaan itselleni sanottavaa taiteen kautta.”
– Tuuli Roosma

Vinegrettin taiteilijoita motivoi jatkuva paluu taiteen ja luovuuden äärelle. Taiteilija ei ole vain se, joka pitää sivellintä kädessä — vaan hän, joka unelmoi, uskaltaa ja luo!

Nadežda Dementjeva,

A realist with a background in technical education, she never imagined that art would become her greatest passion. About 13 years ago, an unexpected wave of inspiration swept over her, changing her worldview in a way that she hasn’t been able to escape since. Four years ago, she founded her Hope Art studio in Peetri, a place where she can peacefully paint and enrich the world with her creative experiments. At the Estonian Academy of Arts, she has completed several courses, learning various techniques and materials, but oil paints and pastels remain her loyal favorites. “Who would have thought that such a serious relationship would grow out of this hobby!” she says, laughing.

Ave Bremse:  “Art is my form of self-expression and self-discovery! I enjoy creating graphics and painting with various techniques. Every time I pick up a brush or another tool, it’s not just the result that surprises me, but the whole process is a surprise! Sometimes, during EKA courses, things don’t always go as planned, but you learn to understand yourself even in those moments of failure! In any case, painting is one of the safest forms of art because you’re not disturbing anyone. Buy some paints and paper or a painting surface, and give yourself the chance to try!”

Kipa (Kirsti Rautio):

Having discovered painting only a few years ago, Kirsti has completely immersed herself in its magic. She is a positive-minded optimist, a doer, a coach, and an entrepreneur. “I love beauty and harmony around me, but I’m also eager to experiment with anything new and exciting. I’m especially drawn to art that makes you pause and think, ‘Wait a second…’ I’ve thoroughly enjoyed the EKA Open Academy courses and am already on my sixth one.”

Kirsti’s artist name, Kipa, comes from her time living and working in Finland.

Inge Paplavskis Inge, a graduate of EKA’s Glass Art program, has in recent years discovered a new passion for painting. She has deepened her skills in this field through various EKA Open Academy courses and by attending several painting retreats. 
Anna Mikitjuk:

“My favorite themes in my paintings are flowers and nature—their beauty and diversity inspire me the most. I enjoy using a rich color palette that uplifts the mood and celebrates life. With my paintings, I aim to convey the positivity with which they were created.”

Hillar Mänd

Hillar’s journey into painting began quite unexpectedly three years ago with a birthday gift—a painting course by Aapo Pukk. What started as a chance encounter quickly grew into a longer learning process under Aapo’s guidance through various courses, culminating last year with a figure painting course at the Estonian Academy of Arts.

His works do not hide stories or convey clear narratives. Hillar’s paintings don’t tell—they invite you to feel, to experience the atmosphere of the moment, which is both timeless and intimately personal.

Tuuli Roosma (TUUL) 

Coming from a family of artists, she grew up with the understanding that she, too, would become a painter. However, by the end of high school, she felt she had nothing to say as an artist and instead chose to study economics and produce television shows. Now, 30 years later, diving back into colors, she is completely amazed by the discovery of just how much she has to say to herself as an artist.


Elli Asser: 
Diana Andriot: "My artistic journey is a continuous dialogue between the conscious and the subconscious. For me, creation is a means to translate the invisible into the visible, to portray feelings and memories that are difficult to express in words. I am fascinated by the depth of the human psyche, the fragmentary nature of dreamlike imagery, and the way reality and illusion intertwine. My art does not offer ready-made answers but invites the viewer to pause, look deeper, and interpret the works through personal experience."
Heli Telgmaa: “I have always been connected to art in some way. My father is a freelance marine painter, and I’ve always been an art and design enthusiast. From EKA’s interior architecture courses, I found my way to Maria Sidljarevitš’s composition course, and from there to the painting course. By nature, I am an experimenter and a seeker of self-expression, drawing inspiration for a variety of activities from my surroundings, people, and literature.”
Ingrid Morel:

“I am a wandering world citizen whose long journeys have included living in seven different countries and earning a master’s degree in political science. Recently, my path brought me back to Estonia as I discovered that there is something greater than the world itself – our inner universe. 

At EKA Open Academy painting course, I’ve met like-minded, open, and searching individuals – both instructors and fellow students – who have all turned out to be shining stars. It is they who have transformed what initially felt like a daunting cosmic journey into a uniquely enjoyable picnic.”
