Hei!
As an artist, I am inspired by the beauty of nature and the spirituality that surrounds us. Having spent time during holidays, growing up in Finland, a country surrounded by forests and lakes, I developed a deep connection to nature from a young age. This connection to the natural world has informed much of my artistic work, as I strive to capture the essence of the natural world in my paintings.
My interest in spirituality and the inner world has also been a driving force in my art. I am fascinated by the ways in which our inner thoughts and emotions shape our experiences, and I aim to explore these themes through my art. Like the artists of The Bloomsbury Group, who sought to capture the essence of the world around them through their art, I too am interested in exploring the mysteries of life through my paintings.
In my work, I aim to channel my experiences and emotions in a spiritual way, using my art as a means of exploring my own inner world. Through meditation and reflection, I am able to tap into a deeper level of consciousness, which informs my art and allows me to express myself in a more authentic way.
Ultimately, my hope is that my art will inspire others to connect with their own inner world and explore the beauty of the natural world around them. I believe that art can be a powerful tool for self-expression and healing, and I am passionate about sharing this message with others through my art.

Art is a way of recognising oneself, which is why it will always be modern
