The Young, 2010Acrylic paint  This painting is fully based on the lyrics of the song The Young by Collarbone. This is simply how I see the imagery in my head. Let the lyrics speak for themselves. Walking on a tight rope / back to back with blindfolds onYou’re scared but don’t look downYou’re scared but don’t look downThe glass between us and them shatters when the framing bendSend an s.o.s cause this is turning to a messWaiting for a sign to se this place askew/ set askewStanding with my fingers crossedLocked inside these city wallsShivers down my spine/You’re sending shivers down my spineThey say we are too young and too restless to surviveWe don’t wanna hear your warningsWe’re don’t care we’re alrightAll you had to offer was just not good enough for usCaught between the two wordsCaught between the two wordsMotion and controlMotion and controlWalking on a tight rope back to back with blindfoldsYou’re scared but don’t look downYou’re scared but don’t look downThey say we are too young and too restless to surviveWe don’t wanna hear your warningsWe’re don’t care we’re alrightAll you had to offer was just not good enough for usThey say we are too youngWas just not good enough for us Music inspiration: Collarbone - The Young This painting was part of the Chasing Lights art exhibition in August 2010.  For sale.

Free and alone, 2010Acrylic paint  This painting is based on a song that in my interpretation tells the story of a woman who leaves everything behind; her relationships, pets, job, car… What’s left she changes; her sheets, last name and phone number. She runs away from absolutely everything. She learns how to close up, how to avoid straight eye contact and how to spend the holidays alone. She wants to be free, free and alone. But somehow she ends up being free and lonely instead. This painting was followed by a sequel called Astronaut that’s inspired by a song with the same title. The woman keeps on running and she becomes so incredibly free and alone that her running speeds up, gravity loses all meaning and suddenly her feet are miles off the ground. She drifts in space without a destination with her only hope being she’d never come up with one or arrive there. Music inspiration: Chisu - Vapaa & Yksin (part 1), Pariisin Kevät - Astronautti (part 2) This painting was part of the Chasing Lights art exhibition in August, 2010. For sale. The story of the woman who is free and alone is remotely related to the story of the man who keeps on running. Part 1 / Part 2

Running Man, 2010Watercolors  This painting portraits a man running through the city during morning twilight. It’s the blue moment, when the street lights are just about to fade and the night is turning into day. The man has made the mistake of stopping just for a while, taking a breath from everything in his life and only in that moment has he realized how truly scared he is when standing still. So he picks up his feet and keeps on running. That’s all he does for now. Later on I painted a sequel for this painting. Undo portraits the same man later on his journey; unable to fulfill the empty spots in his life, to make up for his mistakes or to find the answers he needs, he buries himself in to the sand to escape from the anxiety. Music inspiration: 15 Minutes Before The Dive - Running Man This painting was part of the Chasing Lights art exhibition in August, 2010. For sale. deviantART This story is remotely related to paintings about the woman who keeps on running. Part 1 / Part 2

Midlake @ Flow FestivalThe whole set on my Flickr. All the shots were taken at Flow Festival in Helsinki on August 2011. This was my first true attempt on live photography and I ended up getting really excited about it. I fell in love with Midlake at the late summer of 2010 and their The Courage Of Others album got me through a rough fall and winter. I found it incredibly comforting. Once I saw them live on November in Helsinki and at the latest that’s when they completely stole my heart.Their music is melancholic and gloomy so I wanted to keep the pictures atmospheric as well. That’s why I, for example, made most of the pictures black and white.Criticism is very well appreciated as I am new in this game!

Warpaint @ Flow Festival 2011The whole set on my Flickr.  All the shots were taken at Flow Festival in Helsinki on August 2011. This was my first true attempt on live photography and I ended up getting really excited about it. All the criticism is very well appreciated as I am very new at this! I had never heard of Warpaint beforehand but I really enjoyed them live. They were lovely to take pictures to.  The lights were pretty red but I tried to make it work. On the other hand I liked the pink touch on the pictures so I didn’t want to completely erase it.
