I am an artist from Southeast Finland. I have developed the Repin Institute's visual arts education as part of the Art Center Kyminlinna. This multi-stage and successful collaboration brought a unique international classical visual arts education to Finland. As an artist, I have participated in numerous exhibitions in my home country and abroad.
