Visual Artist from Helsinki, Finland
I paint my own thoughts, how I experience the world and my own passions and interests on canvas. I use strong colors and enjoy how the colors have their conversations and try to find their place on the canvas. There is a lot of symbolism in my art; people change into plants and feelings change into colors. I paint mainly with oil and acrylic colors. My painting technique is expressive and abstract although there are also figurative elements.
I’m also a photographer and the camera goes with me in nature and on travel. I have made some cyanotype prints from my photos.
