Artist’s Statement

My artistic work begun when I was a teenager. I then applied to an art exhibition in Varkaus, my home town. However, the authorities in the museum did not approve my work and said that it was too different. In the year 2004 I completed my Master´s degree in arts at The University of Art and Design Helsinki.
My artistic themes vary from experiencing one´s inner world to the power of media. The techniques I have use range from photography to performance art.
