About
I used to be a visual effect artist for 10 years, but I have loved
art since little. I’m a self-taught artist. All my paintings are
driven by emotions. Emotions are primitive and shared by
living beings. and when seeing an art piece involved with
emotions, I feel happy to meet the same kind, and feel so
touched by similar souls.
The loneliness always lingers and blue moods are with
me from time to time, and drawing is my only channel to
let them go, and be peaceful with them. Oftentimes, I'm
drawn and moved to solitude and misfits from various art
expressions,""I'm Nobody, who are you? '' by the poet Emily
Dickinson."" was the very early memory imprinted on my
teens till now. Also love Van Gogh's madness, the swirling
strokes in the mundane scenery, I feel him.The ancient murals
for illustrative storytelling are also addictive. Nevertheless,
encounters with another culture and meeting new people are
what I’m longing for, and always trigger me to create more
with fresh perspectives on my art works.
Went to Arteles residency without any premise. Enjoyed
my daily routine visiting the nature, and read in the woods.
Hanging out with other artists, venturing out with them during
dayttime, and drinking in the night time. Felt the emotions
surfacing in my room when alone, and then I started to draw
what I felt about Finland.
Every little thing about you.
