"BLACK SANDS - Abstract Acrylic Painting, Black & Gold" Painting

In my artistic practice, I explore the duality of the spiritual and the material, translating invisible experiences into visual form. Through abstraction and a range of media, I express inner states, energies, and subtle processes. 
Nature is at the heart of my work. My artworks aim to remind viewers of their deep connection to the natural world, as a source of balance, grounding, and restoration. Through my art, I seek to create a space for inner harmony and reconnection with oneself. The works invite viewers to pause and rediscover calm and balance, especially within a fast‑paced, technologically driven world. 
My process places strong emphasis on the choice of techniques, textures, and materials. I select each medium carefully, allowing materials to actively shape the outcome. My practice is intuitive and exploratory, new forms and insights emerge through experimentation, close engagement with materials, and openness to chance. Inspiration often comes from natural phenomena such as light reflecting on water, the textures of the earth, and the slow movement of clouds. 
I am trained as a shipbuilding engineer and develop my artistic practice alongside my professional work. This background influences my approach, where structured thinking and intuitive expression coexist and enrich one another. I work in my studio at Turku Art House, a space dedicated to experimentation, material awareness, and the development of my visual language. My works are held in private collections across Europe, Russia, and the United States.
