I am a Finnish self-taught artist based in Regensburg, Germany. I have a Master’s degree in genetics from the University of Oulu, but I have been working as an artist since 2018. I paint mostly with acrylics, but I also enjoy working with watercolor, especially combined with stippling.

I am inspired by colors and wildlife. A childhood spent living in Asia, snorkeling in tropical waters and hiking in rainforests has left me with a permanent sense of wanderlust, and in complete awe of our incredible biosphere.

 

At the same time I am filled with eco-anxiety, and I am deeply troubled by the effects of climate change and human impact on countless animal species. With my art I hope not only to bring happiness to the viewer and remind them of the beauty around us, but to also help raise awareness for endangered animals, and to directly aid wildlife conservation efforts by donating to various organizations from my proceeds.
