Artist’s Statement

I’m an autodidact painter from Pispala, Tampere, Finland. My profession is computer engineer and my passion is making art.

My way to attack the classic `Face` subject is expressionistic, naïve and even brutal.

I do not paint or draw “model” but also the memories or completely spontaneously, when the pictures may be “to remind someone” to the eyes of the spectator.

My dream is to make a collection of a wide range of characters.

The names of my works are important, for example: “I heard his eyes” or “Let your forgiveness be capricious” that makes my pictures psychological.

I paint and make graphics and sculptures.
