Information about the artist / the group

I am a sculptor (BA) and biologist (MSc). Nature has always been very important to me, and it is often strongly reflected in my works. I am also interested in the mythology of indigenous peoples, especially Finno-Ugric. I find it fascinating to connect mystical elements to natural science and use them to create something new. I often assemble my ceramic works from reliefs, which I sculpt myself from the beginning. The sculpture's jewel-like relief-mosaic surface brings an interesting new dimension: the work can be viewed from a distance, but the character's entire essence is only revealed upon closer examination. I work in my own studio in Kirkkonummi.

Driving directions

My studio is accessable via Evitskogintie. (If you arrive via Lapinkyläntie, please do not take a "shortcut" through my neighbour's yard – even if your navigator tells you to do so – but turn first to Evitskogintie instead.)
