My art proceeds from my quest to understand the place of a human being surrounded by life and death.

Colour plays an important role in my paintings. I move between abstraction and figurative.

Recently my abstract oil paintings are augmented with images, created by artist and researcher Hannu Töyrylä using his own AI based tools. In this way, an ambiguous narrative element is added to the abstract.

My art work is influenced by Bauhaus modernism and foremost by the colour thinking of Josef Albers. Marimekko’s straight-line patterns also made a strong impression on me, in my youth when Marimekko T-shirts made everything look like moving stripes .

I have been making performance videos in addition to painting. In performance, I deal with issues and perspectives that made me interested in a subject. Performance always involves painting, animation or otherwise as part of the video. Often there is also a song I sing myself.
