Oma esittely
In my body of work, I research the borderlines of figuration throughout the painting process with semi-monochromatic colour use and elements of fading, disintegration and diffusion. The hues of green signify neutrality and purity for me. I became interested in games, in situations where power plays take place as a group of individuals become one unit around a table or a gameboard. The symbolism of power is explored in both the literal and abstract sense, filtered through events, meetings and stages related to game plays in their performative dimension.
As my referential inventory I use Finnish movie history, playing with the disconnection of these images as fragments of popular culture, for new insights to emerge.
