Information about the artist / the group

I use mixed techniques, mostly colour pigments mixed with wax or egg tempera. Sometimes I also do watercolours and graphics. In autumn, I made a traditional pot from red clay using sausage technique, using the Greek Amphora pot as a model. On the sides I painted Pegasos and Hestia with encobe colours. This was also a very physical experience, as if I was shaping myself from inside. My newest work, At Beginning Of Time, was born in February 2024 and it’s painted with wax, encaustic, on a door. Gold coming from the volcano is sheet metal as material. As an artist, I want to highlight traditional methods and materials and how they can be used in new ways. I held my first solo exhibition in Helsinki in 2009. Welcome to visit and hear about old painting techniques!
