Information about the artist / the group

I am a Finnish artist and I primarily work with light in different forms. I often focus on colour, space and shape and especially their relations to each other and to the viewer. My work often springs from perceptions of our surrounding nature and from its phenomena, but also from present political and socio economic situations. Currently I’m interested in the complexity of our perception, the puzzling concept of time and our obsession with speed and travel in an age of mass extinction. A deep awareness and worry of the ongoing climate crisis and ecological collapse can be found throughout my work. My works have been exhibited in galleries, museums and art festivals in Finland and abroad.

Program during Konstrundan

I will present a collection of my previous works, from neonartworks to drawings and paintings. I will present my current working process at the Pro Artibus Residency in Korpoström. In addition I will have a collection of smaller sellable artworks, from postcards, small lightworks, to glass and original 7“ vinyls. Coffee, tea and small salty snacks.
