I saw the sun
2025
Oil on canvas
150cm x 100cm
Inspired by the story of Icarus. The man who flew too close to the sun and burned his wings and plummeted to the sea. A story that has always struck home, the dangers of ambition.
With this piece I projected my own existence into the figure, as it only feels the more relevant. The trees and their reflection come together to give the form of the wings that once were.
Some interpretations say he smiled and laughed his way down back to earth, I did at least.

Memories linger in the first layers of abandoned works. Abandoned works curse my home, every corner you turn. Like the paint, these memories dry. The works are abandoned never to reach their potential, never able to express themselves. In this way I have been cursed to silence, for all the works I have abandoned. I have abandoned my ability to speak, and all that i'm left with are memories. Vain muistot on Jäljellä.

My relationship with myself is a strained one, rythms of ruination reverberate within my skull.

In the land of the midnight sun, our winters host the noon moon. During this period in winter, I find it so lovely and queit, an unworldly experience, the light comes from the snow on the ground rather than the sky above.

The second of the two pieces displayed at Kuvataide ja Urbaani Kuva's spring exhibition. This piece was a spur of the moment piece, two nights before the exhibition, inspired by Frank Weston Benson's manipulation of light.
Uncles Garden
2023
Oil on canvas
60cm x 40cm
This piece was painted ''en plein air'' in my uncles garden. A late spring day in southern Finland, the suns kiss last long on the sky as it lights up the world below. My uncles garden is a very special place to me. When I lived at his house I would spend countless afternoons gazing at the garden you see here.
