Drawing Being - Delight in Small Things

This book is a dive under the skin of an artist, a dreamer and an enthusiast in life through drawing. Diaries filled with drawings have always been a constant companion of mine.
The drawings are a visual account of recollection and awareness; a concrete record of one journey in an attempt of leading a good life and being a better, more appreciative version of of me as a fully expressed self - an expression of seeing and feeling the delight in small things; never loosing the wonder of experiencing the world for the first time and seeing the brilliance in a dew drop.

I’m a Finnish-born visual artist living and working in Berlin since the year 2014. I graduated in 2011 from the Finnish Academy of Fine Arts as a Master of Fine Art from the painting department. I studied my major subject of painting for extended periods of time in London and Tokyo as well. As a child of an artist family I was given a chance to work in multiple media from early childhood.
My artworks have been exhibited and sold internationally in the USA, Italy, Sweden, Japan, Germany and China.
Visual arts form a lifelong background for my other professional interests. I’m a former dancer of the Finnish National Ballet and since then an Ashtanga yoga practitioner and from 2012 a level 2 authorized Ashtanga yoga teacher.
