I am an artist currently living and working in Helsinki, Finland. I make
drawings, paintings, videos and installations.
My paintings and drawings are figurative, full of color, contrast and
details. My videos resemble moving paintings and often include performative
elements. All of my work is based on drawing. Drawing is my mother
tongue.
My main interest is to examine and portray human relationships, especially
families. We all belong to at least one family. The most powerful scenes of
our lives are played inside our homes, with our loved ones. The family is
indeed a cradle of big events and big time drama. I attempt to portray
things as I see them instead of saying what is wrong or right. I sincerely
want to show what bothers me or makes me laugh. I am interested in what
makes people tick. In other words, I investigate hierarchies, power
structures and the ways we behave in close relationships, which I feel can
be seen as repeating patterns in our society in general.
I admire and respect female artists with long careers, who have succeeded
in continuing making art, despite all hardships. I intend to follow their
example by living long and continuing my work, since making art is
definitely the most important thing in my life.
