Information about the artist / the group

I am a visual artist from Lahti. I have been working as an artist for 21 years. I mainly work with drawing and painting. My tool is often a charcoal pencil, with which I draw on a linen canvas painting base. In my works, I also combine drawing with acrylic painting. The starting point of my artistic work is the effort to encounter the essence of things and objects, i.e. their own essence. In order to reach the object, I present things as objectively as possible, without adding any meanings that come from me. Sometimes I wonder if the essence of a thing or an object, that is, what is in it, can even be reached by drawing or painting? How to describe something that exists even before it can be sensed or perceived? How to face the world as it is?
