Exhibitions in Finland

My new glass series Deserted town is a narrative filled with hedge mazes, roller coasters and houses taken over by nature. It’s a story about subconsciousness and dream logic – a optical riddle that hide details that can only be seen from exactly right angle. The unique sculptures are slowly created in Suomenlinna fortress island.

Deserted town will be premiered 16.11 – 2.12.2019 in Gallery Pictor in Vihti, in an joint exhibition with ceramic artist Heini Riitahuhta. The show will be opened 16.11 at 14 – 16 PM by m.r H.E Gabriele Altana, the ambassador of the Italian embassy in Helsinki.

Process of the Deserted town series. Every sculpture has nested image layers that also hide secrets and riddles behind the obvious scenes. This piece has a city scene and neon lights that are shown only when light hits the glass from right angle. When you look inside the red windows, the truth is revealed.

In 1 – 17.11 some of my latest graal pieces will also be at Contemporary Helsinki F199 at Bukowskis. The auction is the only one of its kind in Finland and presents the very best of Finnish contemporary art and design. Exhibition and auction will be in Katajanokka (Mastokatu 4-6) and also online. There will be in total 4 sculptures from me; 3 graals and one Gem vase that has neodymium glass.

Some of my latest works can be found from Contemporary Helsinki F199 auction.

If you are interested to see the process of the Deserted town, you can also visit the glass studio in Suomenlinna during the Viapori Kekri event in November 2th at 14 – 18 PM. Viaporin Kekri is an opportunity to explore Finnish history and modern interpretation of an old tradition. It also gives visitors a unique chance to explore and experience Suomenlinna from a new perspective and see its darkest corners that are usually closed for the general public. I will be at the studio demonstrating the process of the 100 years old graal technique.

Ornamo’s annual Design Christmas will take place December 6.–8.2019 at Helsinki’s Cable Factory. The three-day market is a unique event to meet Finnish designers and see their latest works. It’s Finland’s largest Christmas market concentrated on design.
