Artist's statement
I am an artist and art student working in my native country, Finland.
Currently, my primary technique is sculpting, with my focus being mostly in traditional materials of sculpture such as different stones, metals, and wood. The materials hold great symbolic value to me. It is a way of creating my own personal microcosm, a sort of extension of my mind and ideas. Nowadays, I rarely make decisions on purely aesthetic reasons - finding symbolic reasons as equal importance - although I still aim for aesthetically relevant work of art.
My very recent work studies a man searching for their place in cosmos. I am interested in how we (humans) create such wide mythologies to explain our existence in the universe; if not so, we explain our origins, where we are, and where we are going through science. I find these two things, mythology and science, being equally interesting to me as an artist. I find that there exists a constant cyclic flow of time in our universe where change and immovability influence both our human condition and the civilizations we create.
