My exhibition Thread of Life is now over, many thanks to the gallery, Gumbostrand Konst & Form – and all who visited the show. Here are few pictures I took before dismantling the exhibition:
Let’s continue with the strange times we’re living the best that we can. I don’t have other exhibitions coming up in near future, but some projects and ideas are active in my mind.

Thank you 2019, the life of an artist is not the most even : there are moments of doubt and hesitation, but then again equal amount of creativity and joy.
This year included among other things : making new artworks in Nuutajärvi, exploring glass colours in co-operation with Tampere University, support for my artistic work from Finnish Cultural Trust’s Pirkanmaa Regional Funds, sales exhibition at auction house Bukowskis, exhibition together with Elina Salonen in Netherlands … To be honest, there’s quite enough.
Looking forward 2020, let there be more creativity than doubt.

Me and my colleague Elina Salonen traveled to Low countries a week back, to set up the exhibition and attend in the opening at beautiful Art Gallery Rozendaal. The gallery is located in Montfort, Limburg, in southern corner of Netherlands, near both Belgian and German border.
