In 2016, Pia and Patrik Edman founded Finland's largest and most comprehensive online art store, Taiko. As marketing professionals, they had noticed a digital gap in the art market in Finland. Taiko derived its name from the word for art in both Finnish and Swedish (taide + konst).
"Taiko is also a Japanese percussion instrument, which fits perfectly as Taiko aims to drum up support for Finnish art," note Pia and Patrik about their company, which has provided a sales channel for 600 artists in Finland and abroad.
At Taiko, you can purchase paintings, art prints, photographic art, and sculptures. The selection includes thousands of works. Taiko serves both private and corporate clients and delivers art worldwide. Finnish visual art is highly valued internationally. With Taiko's launch, international art enthusiasts were offered a convenient and versatile channel to acquire art from Finnish professional artists. Although most of the works sold by Taiko are delivered to Finland, an increasing number of orders are also shipped abroad. On Spain's Costa del Sol, consultant and art receiver Sanna-Mari Prittinen, a color design specialist in visual arts, assists.
The founders of Taiko convey a sense of responsibility and a strong perspective on supporting northern art. "People want to surround themselves with objects that create memories and coziness, withstand the test of time, and can be passed down through generations. Buying a handmade artwork is a responsible purchase that brings joy and atmosphere for a long time. The artist receives income to continue creating art.
Finnish design has already made its mark abroad – art is following suit rapidly."
When you purchase from Taiko, you make a good choice in any case. It's important to trust your own instincts and feelings. That way, you make a successful purchase.
You can explore the art store independently through the link, but if you wish, you can get assistance in selecting a purchase from an expert. Remember, the purchase is also more affordable by first contacting Mirai Homes and Sanna-Mari.
Taiko sells art only from professional artists. To ensure quality, each artist is evaluated based on specific criteria before being accepted into Taiko.
