------------------------------
I was born in Turku, Finland 1978 where I still live. I started painting seriously around the age of 18. I have not attended a proper art school because I prefer to paint what I see and feel rather than do what I'm told to or what is supposed to be "right" in educational sense.

Through this I have evolved a painting style which creates a sort of naivistic reality where color plays an important role. I don't do sketches for my work. I just start to paint and a picture comes out from me. The works that value the most to me are the ones that have a spiritual level. A sort of mystical feeling in the character or the scenery. I work with oil on canvas. I am also a musician.
