Simo Siitonen

As a painter I have been trying to observe society, people and culture. I am especially interested in the relations of observations and aesthetic solutions I make. The timely perspective makes possible the ideas to develop, so that the artistic work becomes a part of the research itself. Painting is a convenient way for me to express values, ideals and possibilities.
