What is VEEN Art?
VEEN Art is a concept featuring famous artists and designers bringing VEEN Water into their creations. The artist has full artistic integrity to complete the work. “We want to create awareness with the artists and raise money for good causes,” says Tomi Grönfors, MD of VEEN Waters Finland Oy. The first VEEN Art exhibition created 10.000 euros for children in Finnish Lapland.
”Better than a cookie!” by Kaj Stenvall
The painting features the duck familiar from Stenvall’s earlier works. Water is playing the leading role and is featured in three forms: in a glass, in the sea and in tears. The tears are there out of pure joy and enjoyment of sipping VEEN. It is hard to say whether the duck is laughing or crying for the water being so smooth.
