The days of the Biennale, July 1st- July 4th, continued this great success. The exhibition was attended by an incredibly high number of visitors. The event has been dubbed in the British press as ‘the hottest art event in the town’.

Inna was the sole artist from Finland selected by the Biennale curators.

Her work Love Story I had attracted a lot of very positive attention and caused a high interest.

The work was attested by the senior art collector as ‘very original, striking, and beautifully done’ and  as ‘reflecting a mighty talent’ by the top art consultant, among many others highly positive feedbacks. According to the chairman of the prominent UK Art Heritage Trust, ‘a charming double-portrait from Belgium and Inna Rogatchi’s work are the two most impressive works, to me, at this year’s Biennale show’.
