Visual artist & Printmaker

I’m a visual artist and a printmaker living in Oulu, Finland.

I started making art with intaglio printmaking. Mainly using etching/aquatint.

I also make mixedmedia paintings with egg tempera.

Past few years I have been drawing with graphite on the side and making digital collages that are based on my graphite drawings.

Arting

I would call my art imaginative realism.

I seem to have always sought for this other world in my art. Spirit.

I love Earth and nature. Art process is also very interesting.

Female figure, metaphors, symbolism, gold, cowears and whales are some of the things I like to art.
