Niko Ekman

My name is Niko Ekman and I am an artist based in Turku, Finland.
I was born in the 70's here in Finland in a small town called Rauma.
So I'm a middle-aged man now, but I'm mentally a child forever and I will not ever change!

Mainly I do acrylic on canvas which fall into the category of Scandinavian Abstract Expressionism.
Sometimes I also paint with oil on canvas.

I also love to do pretty crazy paintings like funny faces in a very childish & naive style.
They always make me feel good. And I often laugh out loud as I paint them and think no one dares to show that kind of thing to anyone, but in the end I think the day can’t start very badly when you look at a funny faces on your own wall right in the morning!

I am self-taught artist, although I'm not quite sure what I've learned from myself?
But I have been to almost all of my adult life entrepreneur and I have a business education as well as marketing education.
