I graduated from the Arts Academy at Turku University in 2007, and have ever since worked as a painter in Turku. Besides painting I also work as a performance artist.

My upcoming exhibition consists of oil paintings.

My paintings relate to things that are strange even for me; our free way of thinking and us being cocooned on our lonely island.

My paintings describe physical phenomenon such as reflection, the opposite shore, water, heaven, soil etc. As such the references are inadequate. In fact, I tend to see them as marginal notes referring to this unfamiliar space.
