Artist’s Statement
I am artist, painter and curator currently based in Rovaniemi, Finnish Lapland / Finland.
I paint, draw and create art installations. The abstract and geometric forms that I employ on canvas are evocative of early 20th-century aesthetics as seen in the Bauhaus and Russian avant-garde movement for example. Unlike the Bauhaus aesthetics, I implement watercolour -like technique in my art that adds a complementary lightness to my works. In these works, the geometric and colourful compositions, employed on the canvas by the artist, function by themselves, creating a comforting feeling derived from the pureness of form and symmetry. work also widely in various international and interdisciplinary projects.
