Artist’s Statement
I was drawing in my childhood, but growing to be an artist was rather slow. Art gives joy, beauty, comfort and hope also painter himself. I have painted a lot of other kind of paintings. For examble art works which Doctor of Philosophy Christina Bäcksbacka called: "Naivistic-symbolistic-ekspressive". This is based to the exhibitions I kept in Art Salon, Helsinki. But in the other hand the critics have called me "Naivistic - expressive. I inspired most of the spring light. the latest artworks I have painted between figurative and imagination. They look quickly seen abstract. They look like sun, and in the otherwise also the moon. I paint colorspaces with different kinds of combinations of color. My interest of colors bring all my works together to my production. I love hues in colors and contrasts and they are "speaking" their own language to audience.
