Artist statement

Born in Tallinn, Estonia, 01 April 1980.
I currently live and work in my hometown Tallinn, Estonia.

A scientist by profession.
Self-taught in art.
Still experimenting and discovering the science of art.

I have been drawing since I was a child, and I used mostly pencil or colored pencils, but during my young years, I was drawing portraits with pastels mainly. In 2019, I opened my first box of watercolors, and I fell in love with that ever since. I have also done several oil and acrylic paintings and several wall paintings, so I am familiar with a broad range of techniques.

At the moment, I combine real science and art within myself. My inner artist is a Dreamer, which tries to break free like a bird from its cage and speak out about dreams and feelings. I love fantasy art and often try to combine reality and fantasy in my drawings. I get inspired by real people, their faces and bodies, which are able to tell their own stories through the emotions captured by photographs. I draw now mostly using photographs as a reference due to the fact that my audience includes people from all around the world. I love to dance, and I am keen on drawing dancers, however often I use my imagination and creativity to create my own vision of the photograph.

I have shipped drawings to more than 20 countries around the world, mainly to the USA, Europe, Australia, New Zealand, and Brazil and my dream is to ship to every corner of the planet.
