Selected Solo & Group Exhibitions
Valon ja Veden Syvyys (The Depth of Light and Water)
-
Location: Kivelän Ravintola, Töölö, Helsinki
-
Status: Ongoing Solo Exhibition
Step into a world where light meets water, memory flows through texture, and abstract expressionism captures the unseen layers of nature and emotion.
This ongoing solo exhibition features a curated collection of approximately 20 works, exploring the deep, shifting intersections of light, fluid dynamics, and coastal atmospheres. Created with rich layers of acrylics, impasto texturing, palette knives, mixed media, and spray paint, each canvas invites viewers to look beneath the surface and discover their own reflections.
