In the gallery of the Kõnnu Viinaköök Art House, the paintings of Katrin and Sven Saag hold within them the mysteries of plants filled with power.
From September 7, the exhibition of paintings by artists Katrin Saag and Sven Saag “Healing Plants” has been open at the Kõnnu Viinaköyö Art Gallery.

The exhibition opening is on 07.09. The exhibition can be visited until September 14.

“A small secret is hidden in every one of their works. What makes them socaptivating is that, beneath countless shades and layers of color, entirely newimages emerge each time. Sometimes flowers appear, sometimes an entire garden unfolds—where, alongside the blossoms, it feels as though someone else is present—someone we once knew. Or perhaps someone we have not yet truly met.”Their art is layered and alive, always opening into fresh visions. “It depends on the light, on the mood you carry within, and even on the distance from which you look. Each moment awakens new images inside you,” says one viewer, comparing the artist to a gardener. “Just as a gardener plants a seed and allows it to grow, bringing forth new hues and layers, so too does the painter. The colors take root, bloom in their own time, and their interplay gives rise to something unexpected. These are living paintings, stirring new images to life within the viewer.”A decade ago, the artists left the safety of city life for the untamed rhythms ofLahemaa. Alongside their painting, the daily pulse of country living has quietlywoven itself into their creative practice.The works presented in this exhibition are inspired by nature, by light and shadow, and by the dissolving boundaries between different forms of life. Together, theartists create a magical realm, inviting each visitor to step into altered states ofperception through moments captured on canvas.

May your journey through this art be a wondrous one!

According to Estonian food heritage, the jewels of our region have long been summer kitchens and greenhouses. Estonians have used summer kitchens for centuries as places for cooking during the warmer months. In the 19th century, with the growing importance of horticulture, greenhouses (historically called triiphooned from the German Treibhaus) began to be built on manor estates. Today, terraces and verandas are more often used to enjoy local food – spaces that extend summer and reflect both the region’s traditions and today’s preferences for spending summer with local flavors.
