Painter of dark surrealism
I am a Finnish artist (Master of Arts in industrial design) living in Umeå in northern Sweden. I started to paint with dark surrealistic motives with oil and acrylics in 2023. In my dark-based art I like colourful combinations where I try to push the boundaries of realism with motifs, as most, of the human skull.
I have my painting studio at the art collective Kreativ Kollektiv in Umeå, Sweden. I'm member of Konstnärernas Riksorganisation - The Artist's Association of Sweden.
