Happy Holidays!🎄💕

Celestial Walk 💫 A watercolor and colored pencil piece from my latest solo show. Thank you all who visited my exhibition in Helsinki, my heart is full! 😭💕 Wishing you all a very happy holiday season 💕✨

Just a heads up that the cut-off date and time for orders placed in my shop is 6 PM UTC on December 17th, 2024! All orders placed after that point will be shipped in January 2025✨ Orders placed with the DHL Express shipping option have a good chance to arrive in time for the Holidays, all other shipping methods will most likely not make it in time sadly. Thank you so very much for all your support this year!💕 I’m excited for the new year and have plans for all sorts of new things for 2025. I’m especially looking into holding at least one solo exhibition and I’m curious to know where you’d like to see my paintings next? ☺️💕 #enamelware #coffeepot #illustration

Process of Seasons of Flowers🌱 My solo show ’Siellä täällä’ is having its opening reception today from 18 to 21, see you at @galleriakalleria 💕

Seasons of Flowers This piece is hands down the most time consuming I have ever painted, as well as by far the largest watercolor painting I have made! I was inspired by the style and complexity of nihonga paintings I’ve seen while living in Japan. In this piece I wanted to depict the changing of seasons by different species of flowers in bloom. This piece is part of my solo show in Helsinki, opening tomorrow December 5th and running until 18th at @galleriakalleria If you are in Helsinki please come check this piece out, I promise it looks way more impressive in person rather than from the small screen of your phone! Opening reception tomorrow from 6pm to 9pm, free entry. Hope to see you there! 💕✨ #watercolor #artexhibition

My solo exhibition ”Siellä täällä” will be held at @galleriakalleria in Helsinki from December 5th to 18th. This exhibition is a retrospective of works from 2018 to present year, bringing together pieces that explore the theme of ’places’. Japan and its atmosphere, popular culture and sceneries have been a big inspiration to me for a long time, and the influence can be seen in my works throughout my career. These past years living in Japan, warm memories of my childhood and nostalgia towards my home country Finland have been even more prevalent in my works. I decided to bring together paintings from past and present with settings reminiscent of Finland and Japan. In addition there will be pieces that mix symbolism from both cultures into fantasy settings.
