MUSIC
Music has always been a part of how I process emotion, memory, and imagination. This gallery features soundscapes I’ve created with the help of AI—each piece capturing a moment, a feeling, or a fragment of a story that words couldn’t hold.
Some of these compositions also appear in the Video Gallery as part of larger audiovisual works.
Elämäni Polku (The Path of My Life)
While my father was fighting for his life unconscious in the hospital, I felt powerless. The situation drew my thoughts back across the decades.
I began writing a song—about the time when I was a child and a teenager, when my parents and others were still young.
This became my way of processing loss.
The song, Elämäni Polku (The Path of My Life), isn't about my own or my parents’ lives specifically, but echoes of memories—perhaps even shared, collective ones—from a time gone by.
Each listener brings their own experience to it. We’ve all faced loss, and I hope the song offers some small comfort.
This year marks ten years since my mother passed away. I dedicate this song to the memory of my mother and father.

FINNS
The Finnish people are an intriguing nation. Despite their modern, high-tech society, they maintain a strong connection to nature. It is not uncommon to find a Finn who prefers spending time in the expansive wilderness alone rather than socializing with others.
Personally, I have a deep fascination with the rugged, olden days and exploring the individuals who chose to live in extreme and harsh environments.
PEOPLE
For many artists, people and life in general have always been a source of inspiration. I have been sketching people since I was a young child and I never tire of the subject. I am particularly drawn to old traditions and ways of life, including a deep-rooted fascination in Asian cultures. On the other hand, I am also captivated by the adventurous lifestyle of America's "wild west", a period I view as a time of incredible freedom.
MISQ
This gallery showcases a diverse range of subjects. While I am typically drawn to vintage rustic items and textures, I am equally fascinated by the way "high-tech" light particles come together to create shapes and objects. Perhaps it is their fleeting nature that captivates me. Black and white art has always piqued my interest, possibly due to my background in design.
As a father to a young daughter, I have rediscovered my delight in all things adorable and amusing, reigniting my inner child through my art.
