Artist's Statement

I´m a visual artist who likes to work with colors. I graduated 2004 from Turku Arts Academy and have had exhibitions ever since. Recently I have been painting landscape paintings inspired by the Nordic sky, abstract expressionism and German Romantic landscape paintings from the 1700 century. My paintings atmosphere reveal different emotions and study existentialist questions.   

My studio is now at Art House Turku in the Center of Old Town.
I have also a lovely summer studio in Kemi.

THE VISUAL ARTWORK FOR THE NAANTALI MUSIC FESTIVAL 2025 HAS BEEN REVEALED.
THE SELECTED ARTWORK IS A STATEMENT IN SUPPORT OF THE SIGNIFICANCE OF ART.

Since 2022, the visual identity of the Naantali Music Festival has been based on visual works of art, chosen every year based on an application round for professional artists. Over 50 artists participated in the call held in September with their works, from which the jury selected the artwork “Kuilu” (2021) by the Turku-based artist Sini-Meri Hedberg as the visual artwork for 2025.
