Antti Eklund

"We all have a voice - my art is mine"
I paint provocative art that encourages us all to act for a positive change.

I have worked on innovative cross-creative platforms all my life. I was trained as an Architect (MSc) in Finland, where I was born. I had an award winning international design career designing products, brands and interiors. In addition I was the Professor of Graphic Communication at the Aalto University in Helsinki. For the last 18 years I lived in Baltimore, Maryland, USA where I took the opportunity to commit myself fully to becoming a professional artist - painting oil-on-canvas iconic paintings. Now I have a studio in Finland, where I currently paint and exhibit.
