The Heart of the Gulf of Finland painting is based on the Gulf of Finland drainage area map. Artist Tiina Vainio emphasises the extent and the vulnerability of the Gulf of Finland in her painting. Millions of people live in the drainage area, and its heart shape reminds us of the importance of the Gulf of Finland. In the painting the darkness of the rivers in the drainage area reflect the amount of runoff they collect.
