I have experimented a lot with different kinds of media. I have built installations that have included photographs, voices and videos. I have done performances and included theatrical and ritualistic elements in them. I have painted and in painting my main interest has been color.

​

In my art there has been themes like relationship between man and woman, the gap between dreams and reality, fragility of childhood, and the changing female body. At the moment I am thinking about freedom and how much one actually can decide for oneself. I also think freedom as an essential nourishment for everything living. Only by sharing and making sure everyone has time enough to enjoy living as he chooses we can feel free. Of course one’s own freedom cannot be with the cost of others. The whole pattern brakes when people take advantage of each other. Time is the only true resource we have. Time, nature and each other.

​

I mainly paint. Painting is very direct, an ongoing discussion between the medium and the artist, the painting and the painter progressing and changing right before one’s eyes. Installations and performance might come again, at their time. But now I think making art has to be play, it has to feel good in my body.

​

I seek freedom, luxury of time, the dignity and humanity that comes from the possibility to listen to oneself, feelings, memories, dreams for the future. The luxury of time gives a possibility to act upon a childlike curiosity and experience the feelings of marvel and happiness. Through my work I seek the bits and pieces of good life for myself and others.

​

Making art, non-commercial art especially is critic of consumerism which seems to be the idea that penetrates all societies. I find consuming an attitude which rises out of mental and spiritual emptiness. Art would be a better religion, if a religion is needed. Anything to make people not search happiness from things. We all have our sores and sorrows, but artistic expression, spiritual sensitivity and soulfulness gives them form, meaning, and makes it a poem we all can share.
