Artist's Statement

Art is my own language and the way to process my experiences and feelings. It is limitless freedom and the way to give shape for the invisible. Creativity is a constant mystical struggle between apparent opposites. Such as spirit and matter, classical and contemporary, abstract and figurative, complex and simplicity, form and essence, personal and public, strength and sensitivity, fear and courage..

This struggle creates a tension on which my art is constructed. I always work on a project basis and like it when the process is somehow visible in my finished artworks.

Bio

Since childhood, I have always drawn, painted, photographed and written. Art is my own language and self-evident identity. I was born in Helsinki and in my life I have lived in many places. About ten years of my life I have travelled and lived in different places of Europe and in Asia, such as in Paris, London and India. In 2003, I graduated from Kankaanpää College as an instructor in arts and crafts. In there I studied, for example, fabric printing, stained glass and ceramics. I started my art studies in 2011 at Liminka School of Art, were I stayed for two years. In 2019 I graduated as a visual artist from Saimaa University of Applied Sciences, where I specialized in painting. My home and studio are in Kokemäki, Satakunta. In my art, I draw and use traditional oil paints as well as the experimental mixed media techniques. Some of my works are installations or stained glass windows, for which I use my self-developed technique. My community works have been exhibited at the Kiasma, Museum of Contemporary Art and the Tampere Art Museum. My art has been on display, for example, at the Imatra Art Museum and the Home of Art, the demolition art project in Kerava, in the summer of 2020. On the facade of the Liminka Library is my large stained glass window. I have exhibitions, and take commission works. I teach fine art painting at Citizens College.
