In this exhibition, in these dark times, she wants to lift up the melancholy beauty of life.Leino was awarded the Southwest Finland Art Prize 2021 by TAIKE (Arts Promotion Centre Finland) and her work can be found in several Finnish collections.

Renja Leino worked for decades as a lecturer of photography at the Turku Arts Academy / Fine Arts, where she is now senior lecturer emerita.
