The Folk Museum in Mijas Pueblo hosted last Friday 15th the inauguration Seita Van den Eeden's exhibition, a Finnish multidisciplinary artist based in Mijas who has only exhibited previously with the Centro de Artes Mijas and it was years ago, that is why this exhibition is important for her. It is entitled ‘A volar’ (To fly) and, as well as having birds as the main element, it has a double meaning. "It is also about finding one's own wings. I used to be a teacher at the Finnish school, but something else always called to me, and it is never too late to find a new profession", Van den Eeden explained.

The artist is also a singer and wanted to entertain the audience with one of her songs. Among them public was her friend Maggie Lobo, who admires both the person and the artist: "She is very cheerful, she is a very talented person. Apart from being an artist, she is also a musician, a singer, a teacher... she does everything. She is very talented".

Her creations surprise everyone. Mari Francis Alarcón (PP), a member of the government team, said that "she has a very beautiful painting, a collage, with many birds and she uses a technique that I don't know but she mixes it with lace and it is very beautiful". "She is a person who has lived in Mijas for many years and who knows and has many friends in the village", added the councillor.
