I am a young artist residing in Vantaa, Finland. Painting is my favourite occupation and the primary way to reflect to my inner universe. I am constantly in the creative process, and I can’t imagine my life without artistic expression.
I believe that a real, living painting is a noble and the best possible decoration for a home, and one of the nicest, most unique gifts to a person close to you, a friend or a coworker.
I paint portraits – of children, of wedding couples, etc., pets, landscapes, buildings, arrangements, and also recreations of famous works by the Great Masters of painting. Primarily I work with oil on canvas. I also use watercolours, acrylic, pastels and pencil.
On these pages you can see my work and find out how to order a painting or a drawing.
Also I’m a painting conservator. The types of objects on which I perform conservation treatments include panel paintings, paintings on canvas, their frames and icons. Conservation and restoration treatments may include: surface cleaning, old varnish removal, surface consolidation (flaking or powdering paint), tear repair, flattening, strip lining, filling and retouching areas of loss. During conservation I do treatment report and photographic documentation. Treatments are always individually planned according to the needs of the object and the client.
