I grew up in Northern Finland, luckily in an environment in which art was highly respected. Therefore I was involved in art from a young age. My early attempts with paints and canvas were encouraged and as a teenager I participated in several important exhibitions of Northern art. Consequently, a career in the field of art was a natural choice.
Currently I live in Helsinki and work mainly as an artist and sometimes as a historian of architecture.
The body of my art works consists of different objects, paintings and drawings. I am an experimentalist, eager to learn new methods of representation, keen to work with varying materials. A common feature of my works is narrativeness, either real or faux. The objects and the pictures often appear like fragments or scenes of some stories. In some cases such stories really do exist but often they don’t.
Thanks for my grounding in architecture and the history art I have become acquainted with many forms of classical and renaissance art and also with classical literature. Often the first ideas for my artistic works spring from there, although I always feel free to develop them without any rules or limits.
