Artist’s Statement

My artistic work is focusing on painting, drawing, photographing and social cases. I work in my studio and often in part-time work in mental hospital, making visual art with people suffering about mental problems. This may be called art therapy or nursing with pictures, paintings etc. For me art means dialogues between human beings.
Painting, drawing and photographing are my forms of expression. Often I want my photos looking like paintings. I have also painted on acrylic glass and on metal plate.
A painting process is often very physical activity. And a painting can be a part in interaction. As its best a painting is not an object, it is a subject. -Mainly I use oil-colors.
I have deep attitude to protect nature, forests and sees. And support people trying to survive against the pressure that comes from global large-scale industries or ruler states. People have their rights on their ancient landscapes for example Finno-Ugric people in Northern Russia, Lapps in Finland, Indians in United States and Basques in Spain.
