Helga Sonck-Majewski – Luonnon kudelma, Naturens väv

Porvoo Museum’s museum lector Margaretha Jämbäck tells about the exhibition Helga Sonck-Majewski – Weave of Nature.

Helga Sonck-Majewski held her first exhibition at Porvoo museum in 1956. For several decades the artist was one of the central figures in the artistic life of Porvoo and she was even involved in founding the Porvoo Art Association in 1966.

The focus of the exhibition is on paintings of flowers and portraits, such as the colourful portrait of her relative Carl Eric Sonck from 1965.
