My practice is an organic process, where new paintings grow slowly. I continue with exploring questions which for me are immutable: belonging, connection, time, self/other, existence as part of the web of life. Painting is my attempt to always get closer to those questions, rather than finding answers.

I paint from that sensed, symbolic and playful reality which is shadowed by the society that calculates and rationalizes everything. The paintings depict experiences of the living world and remind the viewer of life as both ephemeral and continuing.

The gallery views are from my recent solo exhibition “Leaf green, sky blue” at Gallery Saskia, Tampere, May 2022
