Finnish (b.80) Visual Artist/Printmaker. Master of Fine Arts degree in Finnish Academy of Fine Arts, Helsinki (2010). Bachelors of Fine Arts, Middlesex University, London (2005). Studied also in School of Visual Arts New York (2004) and Chelsea College of Art And Design, London (2002).
My work specializes in various mixed-media techniques e.g. serigraph, drawing, photography, digital art forms.
" The topic of race and cultural relations has become the primary subject matter within my artistic practice. Often referring my resources to the history of racial -
traditions, myths, caricatures, games, jokes. Aiming to create positive dialogue within rooted stereotypes - learning, building and hoping to create a tolerance within the societies "
"Everyday-life - media and society- are major influences throughout my aesthetic choices of art making. The themes of my works emphasize and contemplate the subjects on Western life values e.g. identity, multiculturalism, human-rights, politics, religion, consumerism and so forth."
" People are the main focal point and inspiration towards my artwork. I have an ongoing interest for exploration of figures. Images can be transformed from their original form into new surroundings creating a new sense of reality - this is my fascination. "
