I’m a contemporary artist from Helsinki, Finland. Exploring themes of mental health and inner demons, showcased with explosions of color and strangely cute creatures that together create a chaotic composition in a peculiar world that usually only exists inside my own head. Each piece is imbued with a sense of narrative, inviting viewers into a different world.

My work is a fusion of influences, drawing inspiration from books, music, films and the bizarre corners of art history as well as my dreams, imaginary friends and random thoughts. I use materials from acrylic paint to pages from books and crayons to medical imagery. My aim is to challenge perceptions and spark conversation, inviting viewers to embrace the weirdness inside and find a tinge of joy in the unconventional.

today


I found my friends,


they’re in my head”
