Painting
I was born in Pello in Western Lapland in 1959. I live and work in Ranua, which is the southernmost municipality of Finnish Lapland. I graduated as a visual artist from the Lahti Art Institute and as a visual arts teacher from the University of Lapland.
The subjects of my paintings are mostly based on visual perception. The topic is looking for a suitable form of expression, organic, stylized or abstract. Color always plays an important role.
The studio is open on Saturday from 11 am to 11 pm, because Ranua has the night of Arts. Sunday 11-17. Children have the opportunity to draw or paint, and display their work or take it with them. The artist talks about his work and is happy to discuss art. Coffee and juice is served on Sat from 17:00 to 23:00.
