The lecture and experimental photo show will be presented for the first time
in Rovaniemi, which is the hometown of the artists. The language of the show is
Finnish but it can also be followed in English. The photo show opens the Northern
Impressions photo exhibition which is on view in the Arktikum Science Centre from
13th May to 14th August 2016.

The impressionistic
photographic style is created by Irma Varrio and Ari-Matti Nikula. The new style of
photography presents the familiar nature photo subjects with a new twist. The
inspiration to make strong, artistic interpretations comes from impressionistic
art.
