“Thoughtlessness – carefree indifference, hopeless confusion or complacent repetition of ‘truths’ turned flat and empty – seems to be the most striking character of our time […] I suggest something very simple, not more than that we think about what we do.”
Hannah Arendt

The German-Jewish photographer Alfred Eisenstaedt succeeded in revealing a portrait of the notorious National Socialist in Geneva in 1933 during a visit by Propaganda Minister Joseph Goebbels to the League of Nations in Geneva. Goebbels fixed the photographer full of hatred and thereby lost his bourgeois mask for a moment.
Through the strong abstraction of the original photo and the reduction to his face, Goebbels hateful gaze is further accentuated in the textile image. The reduction to a few sharp-edged shapes and the contrast of black and white sharpen the image‘s message. Hand-embroidered surfaces create an additional profile depth on the superimposed textile applications.

I was born in 1963 in Joensuu, Finland, where I live and work to this day.
I studied arts for three years (1985- 1988) at Kankaanpää art school. I am a member of Finnish painters association, and also a member of Joensuu art association.
My works are in Finland state collection, city of Joensuu collection and health care district of Joensuu area. Also, they can be found in many private collections.
Art exhibition activities: 28 solo exhibitions, 54 group exhibitions and 12 Finland state art group exhibitions.
During my artistic career I have used many kind of painting methods. I’ve painted with oil colors, water soluable aquarelles, acrylic paints, and also drawings liquid inks in many colors.
Nowadays I am using acrylic paint on canvas and drawing black ink pens on paper.
I paint figurative works. Often on my canvases you can see only one or few body details: one leg, legs, head, or many heads and so on… I use also hints of other living creatures, like animals, or pieces of built environment by humans.
Maybe I want to describe tensions between individuals, temporal nature of life and also how fragile it is in many ways. Maybe there are also thoughts about hatred, love, and absolute evil which surround us sometimes.

Herbarium is a collection of plant samples.
The samples may be whole plants or parts thereof and they may be stored dried and pressed.
The material of the flora is painted iron wire. The significance of nature and human diversity is present (in the work). On a larger scale, the lack of intra-species diversity is a threat.

PEOPLE – Notes from the Draughtman’s Diary is three-year project based on the idea of our world view, which consists of stories constructed by all our senses. We fill in and modify these stories throughout our lives.
During the working process, between May 1, 2016 and April 31, 2019, I studied how visual information constructs one’s vision of the world. Daily randomly-chosen Press photos from the Helsingin Sanomat newspaper have been transformed in the draughtman’s diary into a new picture—a vision of the artist’s mindscape, a story of the moment.
The project provides a new way of reinterpreting the Press photos, which tell a new story of the world through free associations—a story I have transferred by drawing into the surroundings of my own experience. The pictures have become part of my own life story.
For those interested in the materials used: Diary pages (30 x 40 cm); a ballpoint pen; oil pastel; and watercolors, white/mainly black.

Menschen – Notizien aus dem Tagebuch des Zeichners ist ein dreijähriges Projekt, das auf der Idee unserer Weltanschauung basiert, die aus Geschichten besteht, die mit allen unseren Sinnen konstruiert werden. Wir füllen und modifizieren diese Geschichten unser ganzes Leben lang.
Während des Arbeitsprozesses, zwischen dem 1. Mai 2016 und dem 31. April 2019, habe ich erforscht, wie visuelle Informationen die eigene Sicht der Welt konstruieren. Täglich zufällig ausgewählte Pressefotos der Helsinkier Zeitung (Helsingin Sanomat) wurden im Tagebuch des Zeichners in ein neues Bild verwandelt – eine Vision der Geisteslandschaft des Künstlers, eine Geschichte des Augenblicks.
Das Projekt vermittelt eine neue Art der Interpretation der Pressefotos, die durch freie Assoziationen eine neue Weltgeschichte erzählen – eine Geschichte, die ich durch Zeichnen in die Umgebung meiner eigenen Erfahrung übertragen habe. Die Bilder sind Teil meiner eigenen Lebensgeschichte geworden.
Für Interessierte, die verwendeten Materialien sind: Tagebuchseiten (30 x 40 cm); ein Kugelschreiber; Öl-Pastell; und Aquarelle, weiß/hauptsächlich schwarz.
