I think myself as European part time painter. I live in Germany, spend most of my holidays in France. Originally I came from Finland. Why part time painter? Painting is a way to relax, get away from my other work – programming.

When I was teenager I told my mother, I do not need to study languages. I will be artist; Art is international language. Since then however, I studied various things in Finland- including languages. It took a long time to get where I’m today. I ended up in Germany due to my studies, that time chemistry. However, I never gave up painting.
