Estonian-American artist, Jaanika Peerna’s large drawing from the “BIG MELT” series, made with pigment pencil and melting ice was presented by President Alar Karis to Sweden’s King Carl XVI Gustaf and Queen Silvia during their visit to Estonia this week.

An additional gift was the recent monograph “Jaanika Peerna: GLACIER ELEGIES” published by Terra Nova Press / MIT Press.

The artist said, “Thank you, Eesti Vabariigi Presidendi kantselei for picking contemporary art that reflects real time processes on our Earth as the gift to Sweden.”

Jaanika Peerna is an Estonian-born artist and educator living and working in New York since 1998.
