Art in Public Buildings<\/h4>\n\n

Saari secondary school 2020, with an artist group<\/h6>\n\n

We planned and fulfilled a small separate space for calming down with nature-themed paintings on the walls. My main responsibility was the planning and making a led-lit starry sky painting on the ceiling with Carita Sulkava and the vocational school Redu.<\/p>\n\n

Kiela city block, 2020, with an artist group<\/h6>\n\n

We planned and fulfilled nature-themed paintings on the walls of a parking lot situated in the center of Rovaniemi. The working team consisted of students from the facility of arts (University of lapland) and the project was sequel to a similar project started a few years earlier.<\/p>\n\n

Joensuu Central Hospital 2019<\/h6>\n\n

I made two big acrylic paintings for the childrens’ new hospital wing in Joensuu. The other also featured LED lights. The project was funded by Syd\u00e4nlapset ja -aikuiset ry – a Finnish heart foundation<\/a>. One of the works<\/a> was placed in the ceiling and the other<\/a> on a wall. The art is meant to give children something nice to look at while they’re being treated or examined.<\/p>\n\n

Joensuu Kuntokeidas 2016 (sports center)<\/h6>\n\n

A caricature portrait of bowler Mikko Hirvonen is hung on the wall of a fitness center in Joensuu. The work was commissioned by Susirajan Urheilutoimittajat ry.<\/p>\n\n

Business<\/h4>\n\n

I have been an entrepreneur since 2015. My job includes graphic design, layout, illustration and custom art. My clients are small and medium-sized businesses, associations and individuals. I have also worked as a freelancer for the advertising agency Luotoluoto Oy<\/a>as a graphic designer and decorator for advertisement videos. I have experience in organising exhibitions, being in a jury and teaching art.<\/p>\n\n

I have acquired my artistic skills through my art studies and design studies and by studying independently. I use multiple different medias from oil painting to ceramics. My style is figurative and sometimes very precise, but I am open to other means of expression as well.<\/p>\n\n

Examples of illustrations<\/h4>\n\n

Two book cover illustrations for a TV series published by Yellow Film & TV.<\/p>\n\n

Illustration to cover the campaign car and other materials.<\/p>\n\n

Layout, graphic graphic design and illustrations of Kepa Tromp’s collection of short stories<\/p>\n\n

Annually renewed illustrations for websites, advertising posters and newspaper ads<\/p>\n\n
