Fine Arts

I have worked professionally as a visual artist since 2011, developing an independent artistic practice alongside my work in illustration, graphic design, and digital design. My practice centres on painting, illustration, drawing, and visual storytelling.

Over the years, my work has been exhibited in galleries, cultural venues, and group and solo exhibitions across Finland. I have also participated in exhibitions as an invited artist, including at Telakka Gallery in Tampere, LaFiaba Gallery in Jyväskylä, and Galleria Kookos in Helsinki.

In 2021, I was selected as one of five artists to create work for the Museum of Contemporary Emotions. My artistic work has also received 18 grants from organisations including Taike, Grafia, and the Finnish Illustration Association. Alongside exhibitions, my hand-drawn animations have been screened at international film and animation festivals across Europe.

Today, my artistic practice focuses particularly on contemporary painting and expressive use of colour. My recent work explores portraiture through abstraction, using colour, shape, and visual rhythm to reflect on identity, emotion, memory, and perception.

Unseen Faces — Solo Exhibition, DesignKaverit Studio, Helsinki (2025)

Unseen Faces is an acrylic painting series that explores the depths of the human mind through the colour spectrum. The works depict thoughts, emotions and experiences as layers of colour, reflecting how the mind is constantly shaped by memory, adaptation, change and the search for acceptance.

The series also explores fragmented memory and the conscious and unconscious influences that shape our sense of self. Each colour and layer represents different aspects of the mind, some visible and others emerging subtly through everyday experiences.

The titles of the works are borrowed from music that resonates with the deeper layers of the human psyche. Together, the titles and paintings create an atmosphere of subtle melancholy, reflecting the ongoing search for an authentic voice in a world shaped by expectations, roles and the pressure to adapt.
