Artist’s Statement

I´m a Finnish visual artist working with themes of ecology. My artistic work is based on investigation of human´s relationship with nature and world through motives of landscape. I´m interested in contemporary landscape as a process, as an embodiment of cultural and societal values, yet subordinate to globalisation, pollution and technology. I work mainly by painting. Nevertheless, I understand painting closely related to space, time and objects and create installations which take their final form in an exhibition space.
