I´m a Finnish visual artist living and working in Oslo since 2020. I studied at the Bergen Academy of Art (KMD).
For the past few years, I have mainly worked with oil paintings on canvas, tempera, and drawing with various methods. The latest series of my work has its starting point in fairytales, myths, and mythical beings. I create my visual language that is rich in symbolism. Dreams, nightmares, and unconscious mind interest me.
My latest exhibitions include LNM, Oslo (2024), Tm galleria, Helsinki (2023), Galleri Ask, Åsgårdstrand (2022), Tegnerforbundet, Oslo (2023 and 2020), Kunsthaus, Hamburg (2020).
