About me
I have always been interested in fine art and design in addition to textile art.
I combine elements from different genres of art, ethnic cultures, recycling
art history, literature and music into my own art and design.
I am interested in the pictures behind the stories and vice versa, also in the sounds, smells and moods associated with the pictures.
In 2012, I did artistic research (MA) at Aalto University in Helsinki.
In it, I dealt with a person's own language, which is hereditary, but is also built from
experiences, memories, beliefs and is related to the culture of the era. I am interested in the "living" visual stories behind the works, which include material, sound
and olfactory memories. It would be interesting to collaborate with video and sound artists. The stories of art could be approached, for example, from the workspace.
Now I work as a freelance artist, designer, teach community art at schools well as in various kinds of projects - usually textile and mixed media based!
