About The Artist


I am a Finnish visual artist and sculptor. I have also lived permanently in Spain for almost 10 years. ​ For my scientific art  I draw from studies on natural sciences, especially cosmology, study of the universe, and astronomy. ​ My paintings are created mainly on basis of blanks, often shaped by the subconscious during sleep, which then mature into ideas when I wake up. I use experimental mixed techniques mainly with acrylic paints and metal leafing methods on transparent, impact resistant acrylic and polycarbonate sheets. In each work, some new technical method has been used.
