About / Minusta
Olen savonlinnalaislähtöinen 28-vuotias nuori kuvataiteilija. Opiskelen Taideyliopiston Kuvataideakatemiassa. Maalaaminen on erilaisista kuvanteon tavoista minulle merkityksellisin. Maalaaminen prosessoi kaikkea mitä tunnen ja koen, sekä mitä olen nähnyt ja mikä haluaa tulla nähdyksi.
Minua kiinnostavat etenkin kyseenalaistaminen, haastaminen ja uudet näkökulmat taiteen sisältönä, sekä millaisin mielikuvituksellisin ja epätavallisin keinoin taiteella on mahdollisuus vaikuttaa. Tavoitteenani on luoda visuaalisesti mielenkiintoisia kuvia, välittää tunteita ja kohdata teosteni avulla.
Maalaamisessa kiinnostavaa on väreillä ja sommittelulla leikittely, joka tapahtuu sekä alitajuisen että harkitun prosessin kautta. Välillä mielessäni on selkeä visio tulevasta maalauksesta, jota lähden toteuttamaan hyvin kontrolloidusti. Toisinaan taas maalaus syntyy puhtaasti kokeilujen ja sattumien kautta. Koen tarvitsevani näitä molempia puolia.
I am a 28-year-old artist grown up in Savonlinna. I study at
Uniarts Helsinki's Academy of Fine Arts.
Painting has the highest meaning to me personally. Whilst I paint, I process the whole spectrum of my experiences and emotions: what I’ve seen and what wants to emerge to be seen. Questioning, challenging and finding new perspectives as the content of art intrigue me. What imaginative and original means of impact does art possess?
My aim is to create visually interesting imagery, transmit emotions and encounter other human beings through my art. I am deeply inspired by the play with colours and composition, which take place both intuitively and consciously. Sometimes I have a clear vision of the painting, which I carry out in a controlled manner. And other times the painting forms through experiment and coincidences. I need both of these approaches.
