Most of my time I devote for different forms of artistic expression, be it painting, drawing, music, writing... both creating, and experiencing other people's art. My main inspiration in all that is the quest for finding the Truth, so the thousands of fractions of it allow millions of possibilities in billions of different forms. Thus the source is endless, and all the forms of artistic expression are entwined.
I am very open-minded and interested in all kinds of things in- and outside of this world. Musically i'm especially into darkness and melancholy, therefore i mostly listen to metal. I love autumn for its amazing colors and ambience, and winter for its endless darkness and especially for the snow which turns the world into a land of fairytales and dreams...and springtime for its feel of hope it brings after the long dark times.
Travelling in other countries is very inspiring to me, since it lets me gain experience of different realities. Through travel i get to know myself better as well as to find various aspects to humanity and the whole world.. needless to say how much all that may contribute to the artistic vision. In 2006 i travelled around the world. The voyage took me to several countries and continents, all the way to the Easter Island and back.
I have lived in France for one year and in Holland for five, but in the summer of 2006 I finally moved back to Finland. I chose Helsinki for all the possibilities there, especially in art and music.
