Vihtori Ylinen

Vihtori Ylinen is an artist. 1 work is cataloged here, principally at Finnish National Gallery.

Vihtori Ylinen spent his days hunched over metal, shaping spoons and portraits alike with the same careful hands. If you’ve ever seen a spoon that doesn’t look like it came from a factory, he probably made it. His painting *Satama* shows a harbor so quiet you can almost hear the ropes creak—no crowds, just salt air and wooden hulls. Look for that painting next time you’re hunting for quiet corners in Helsinki’s harbor.
