was born in 1957 in Helsinki, Finland into a creative family.
He learned photography from an early age under his father. Music studies from age six.
Between 1979 and 1986, living in Paris, he rose to the roster of internationally recognized
improvising musicians. In addition to music (both improvised and composed), his performances,
multimedia work and installations were seen in most European countries. His solo saxophone
record ”Y- an imaginary ritual” (1984) remains seminal.
In 1986 he retired from the Art World on the advice of his teacher John Cage,
to search.... ...Art...in...Life.
Years, travels, employments, and hardships.
2001 he became a recluse in Finland's wilderness. Aiming for a ”Sustainable Life”.
From that base he again communicates as an artist.
Work currently available to a larger public consists of socio-environmental projects and an original
mixture of painting and photography which merges his ecological and apocalyptic visions with
traditional non-figurative visual arts.
