I am a Siuntio based street artist, regenerative farmer and an illustrator. My aim is to put colour on all the grey walls I encounter, create possibilities for residents to have a say on their surroundings and to make unexpected places inspirational.
In addition to making building sized murals and smaller street art pieces, I also do ceramics, woodcut prints, installations, curating, urban art planning, exhibitions and illustrations. I finished my MA in Aalto University of Art and Design from Visual Culture, Curating and Contemporary Art in 2021.
I am a member of SAV Taidekollektiivi (former Street Art Vantaa) and G-Rex Street Art Collective and am also co-founder of Helsinki Urban Art ry. You will find more information of us through these links:
