I’m a contemporary artist from Helsinki, Finland. Exploring themes of mental health with a humorous touch and a penchant for the peculiar, my paintings feature a cast of strange creatures and morbid motifs that usually only live inside my head. Each piece is imbued with a sense of narrative, inviting viewers into a different world.

My work is a fusion of influences, drawing inspiration from books, punk, films and the bizarre corners of art history. I strive to evoke both strange beauty and meaning in my artworks, using materials from acrylic paint to pages from books and crayons to medical imagery. My aim is to challenge perceptions and spark conversation, inviting viewers to embrace the wonderfully weird and find solace in the unconventional.

I found my friends,


they’re in my head”
