Black Moon Lilith, 2023

Black Moon Lilith in astronomy is also known as the dark side of the Moon. According to an astrologer Aliza Kelly, in ancient mythology Lilith was Adam’s first wife. While Eve was birthed from Adam’s rib, Lilith and Adam both emerged from the soil of the earth, highlighting Lilith's autonomy. As she refused to be submissive to Adam, exercising her freewill, she was forced to leave the Garden of Eden.

Black Moon Lilith speaks to the darkest parts of ourselves that we’re often afraid to acknowledge. It is also connected to the areas where we set our boundaries. It represents our deepest desires that want to be expressed.

Astrologers The AstroTwins call Lilith your "inner B.I.T.C.H." — Being In Total Control Of Herself.

Our dark side may turn into our strength. Going forward in our lives requires diving into our shadows - discovering, acknowledging and letting go.

Open door shining the way to possibilities, 2023

How many doors you open everyday? Doorways often represent the act of making decisions. When opening a door you are entering something and always have a chance to choose - decide your attitude towards things and how you are treating others. Will you be open to new ideas, will you be courious to seek for solutions. Each day is full of possibilities, when you think of it.

Kunka monta ovea avaat päivän aikana? Ovet symboloivat usein valintojen tekoa. Ovea avatessasi astut aina jonnekin ja sinulla on aina mahdollisuus valita - miten asennoidut asioihin ja kuinka kohtelet kohtaamiasi ihmisiä. Oletko avoin uusille ideoille ja oletko utelias löytämään ratkaisuja. Jokainen päivä on täynnä mahdollisuuksia, kun sitä ajattelee.

Abundance is all around me

It’s in the flowers
It’s in the trees
It’s in the honey
It’s at your feet

It’s in the stars that you see

It’s our birthright

I made this painting abundant with colors and texture, as I wish to remind and also remember everyday, that our world is limited. Therefore opportunities arising for us are limited as well.

Seekers - what you are searching is within you, 2021

This painting is picturing us human beings flowing in the current of life, looking for the right direction and things that make us genuinely happy and content. Often we tend to seek those things from external things and struggle extensively to achieve something that eventually does not make us happy. It is sometimes worthwhile to look inside. All we need in life to achieve happiness is already within us. You are the thing that you are looking for.

Stormwind rings the freedom bell, 2019

We often try to avoid rocky roads and are afraid of conflict and inconvenience in our lives.

From the ashes we are born, 2022

Sometimes the darkest moments turn out to be turning points for the better. Unease and displeasure are emotions we should be grateful for - they tell us that we are not there yet and force us to move on. One of my favorite quotations is the one by Australian activist and author Christine Caine: "Sometimes when you are in a dark place, you think you have been buried, but actually you have been planted."

With this painting I wish to encourage everyone to actively seek for what their heart tells and go for it. It may not always be an easy road to travel, and you may have to get out of your comfort zone, but it will be worth it.

Still life, 2017

There is unique beauty in every season. The beauty in autumn nature is the silence. All the hustle and bustle of summer has turned into stripped silence. It is an ideal moment to stop and just listen. I was born in October - maybe that is why i cherish the autumn months. Every October I'm taking a step away of what I'm doing and evaluating if this is leading to the direction I wish to walk in the course of my life. I feel that birthdays are meant to be a moment for evaluation: Are we doing the right things in our life - things that make us happy and ultimately, people around us happy.

Tämä teos syntyi tummenevien kesäiltojen inspiroimana - korvissani soiden:
"Kesäyön on onni omanani,
Kaskisavuun laaksot verhouu

En ma iloitse, en sure, huokaa,
Mutta metsän tummuus mulle tuokaa
Puunto pilven, johon päivä hukkuu
Siinto vaaran tuulisen, mi nukkuu

Tuoksut vanamon ja varjot veen
Niistä sydämeni laulun teen."
