Information about the artist / the group

I am a sculptor from Joensuu. I make ceramic sculptures of children, teenagers and young adults. With my works, I have depicted, for example, the peaceful coexistence of different cultures and the loneliness of young adults. In my works, I have also dealt with my own grief, the death of my son. The story of my sculptures also continues in my photographs. I have photographed my sculptures in the middle of nature, in the landscapes of North Karelia. With my photos, I have highlighted, among other things, how important it is to give children different nature experiences and the understanding that we are one with nature.
