About me
(Suomenkielinen CV:tästä)
Painting is at the heart of my artistic expression. Through layers of color, texture, and form, I explore the interplay between emotion, memory, and identity. My works often draw inspiration from nature and human experiences, translating abstract concepts into vibrant visual stories. I work mainly with watercolors and oil paints. My special skills include digital art and I am curious to try new technologies such as augmented reality (AR).
During my working career, I have been able to make use of artistry in a variety of ways and I am at my best in tasks and projects that require creativity. I also have experience in guidance work as a job coach and instructor. I have also worked as a framework editor for various groups and projects. The clients of the projects were mainly rehabilitators, drug and mental health rehabilitators, and long-term unemployed. In group supervision, I especially focus on the well-being brought about by art.
My commitment to painting extends beyond the canvas. Whether through residencies or collaborative initiatives, I see art as a tool for fostering dialogue, connection, and transformation. Each brushstroke carries my desire to inspire and engage, offering a moment of reflection in a fast-paced world.Please notice: This is only my artist CV.
