Artist’s Statement

In order to survive the hectic chaos of life, one needs to disconnect the wires occasionally. Cutting woodblocks transfers time passing so slow , that it enables the rise of images from the past to meaningful occasions and people to become re-interpreted . It is like meditation . The existential right of human being is to give a new definition for himself every day, because each moment is different and unique.

Bio

Born in Helsinki. Since the early childhood I have moved around first with parents and three little brothers. Since they settled down in the eastern Finland, I continued searching myself studying different things, working in different places etc. in Finland and aboard.
Most stable thing in my life has now been a working studio in Lahti, where I also return from all the other experimental migrations.I have had various private exhibitions in Finland and participated many juried group exhibitions in Finland and aboard.
