"I explore various aspects of human nature: fragility, limitations, incapacity, as well as strength, the pursuit of beauty, and harmony through color. My art is born from a desire to understand the human condition, both in life and in death. My work has been influenced by Bauhaus modernism, particularly Josef Albers' color thinking.
I have sought to incorporate narrative elements into my abstract paintings. In the works of this exhibition, I combine my oil paintings with images created by visual artist and researcher Hannu Töyrylä, using AI-based tools he developed. These ambiguous images have become part of my abstract works, allowing me to better address the themes I find important."
