PAINTING SCULPTUREVIDEOPUBLIC ART BIOCV & TEXTSPAINTINGS 2017
From the exhibition Holy at Huuto gallery in Helsinki. While working I studied different mystical traditions. I read about saints such as Hildegard of Bingen and Saint Clare of Assisi, as well as texts by Emmanuel Swedenborg, and immersed myself in the visual world of medieval church art. I also showed some surrealist poems written on cloth inspired by the poetry of the mystical branch of Islam, Sufism.
