His unusual painting awaits its fame. In printmaking he forged his own style.\u201d<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>And yet the idea of erecting a monument to \u00dclo Sooster on the island of Hiiumaa\u2014in the town of K\u00e4rdla, opposite the school he attended\u2014is a matter of principle. A principle for us, the living.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The example of \u00dclo Ilmar Sooster is that of a person who could remain free in captivity; who did not lose kindness and compassion in inhuman conditions. Nothing could prevent him from loving, from absorbing knowledge and impressions, and from creating\u2014while remaining himself: THE ARTIST \u00dcLO SOOSTER.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The Sooster Foundation is pleased to announce that 24 Estonian sculptors, representing different generations and schools, have decided to take part in the competition for the monument\u2019s design.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The winner will be announced no later than 15 April of this year.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<p>The monument is planned to be unveiled on 17 October 2027\u2014on Hiiumaa, the island that was always in \u00dclo Sooster\u2019s heart, in sorrow and in joy. Hence, \u201cin his work there blossomed the memories of childhood\u2014junipers, fish, shells, birds. The dreams of youth\u2014women.
