Soulmates
“A true soul mate is a mirror, the person who shows you everything that is holding you back, the person who brings you to your own attention so you can change your life.”
I wanted to see how my style and skill had improved and decided to create a new version of “Siblings”, which I had painted seven months ago.

Green Sunrise
This is one of the early paintings of my official artist career and I did not yet have the confidence to create something more ambitious and imaginative. If I was to re-create this painting now, I’d definitely make the tail of the peacock larger in size and more complex in detail.

Yin and Yang
The original painting is not a lot bigger than A4 but at the time I created it, it seemed like an incredible achievement to me with all the details of the owls’ feathers. This is also the first original painting that I sold as the artist of Jasu Wonder World.

Is Anyone Home?
The mood in this particular painting differs from all the other ones I’ve made. Usually everything I create is more or less happy and full of joy, but this one is quite gloomy. This was intentional, for I wanted this painting to raise questions in a person viewing it. That’s why even the title is a question.

Playtime
This painting was one of the very first large-scale artworks I ever created and was a real patience-test for me. There were a few times I wanted to give up or more or less needed to force myself to keep going. However, thanks to these big and detailed paintings my patience has improved incredibly.

Medusa
When I started sketching “Medusa” I only had the lady in my mind. Then, as I proceeded with the sketch she was accompanied with a cat, a crow and the spiders. This happens to me quite often though: the final idea of an artwork gets clear to me only when I’m putting it on the paper.

Puffy the Tiger
I intended this painting to be a simple sketch and never thought it would be such a popular Christmas card that it later became.

Deer Room Service
The deer is renting apartments for the birds. Also, a very good excuse for me to paint a great amount of details to keep myself entertained.

Indian Dance
This was my first large-scale painting where I didn’t use the black outlines to help me with the coloring. The way I painted was very rough still, and I had yet to learn to create smooth and soft shades instead of sharp edges between the different shades of color.

Reflection
One of the regularly appearing themes in my paintings: Two opposites coming together. I have a great fascination for the bond that the nature has created between a male and a female.

Good Old Times
This is a portrayal of the passing of time. What has passed will never come back but remains in our memories. The past experiences have shaped the dress of the lady and as long as she lives she’ll keep on obtaining more experiences, all different from each other but all part of the same dress.

Autumn Falls
Life always evolves and is in a constant state of change. In this painting I wanted to convey the acceptance of this constant change.

Firefoxes
To me, the most important thing about this painting is the way the other fox is looking at his friend. To that simple gaze I wanted to compress all that happiness, love and gratitude that you can have for another person: how the simple presence of the other can put all your pieces together and make you happier than you ever thought you could be.

A representation of the flow of nature; how different creatures and elements live side by side and are connected to one another.

Just a Dreamer
A young woman who has a tendency to escape the reality into the imaginary world in her mind, falling asleep to those thoughts and dreaming of a life she had always wanted to have (a fitting portrayal of myself).

Tigers remain one of my favorite animals when it comes to my art subjects. In this artwork, the main idea was to make the stripes of the tiger to be formed by the leaves growing around her.

Patter necks
I generally like different graphic patterns and the spots of a giraffe felt like a perfect target for some pattern-design. This was one of the very first paintings I created after making the decision to make a living as an artist. However, if I was to re-create this painting now, I’d make the patterns way more complex.

Aurora Borealis
The dancing horses portray the way the northern lights dance on the sky. The making of this painting was quite a challenge since the original painting is one of the largest I’ve ever made and I had trouble keeping it from falling off my working table.

The Dance of Jellyfish
I often get lost into my creation. It feels like everything is flowing very effortlessly: my hand is moving the pen or the brush on a paper on its own. This painting could be a representation of just that.

Jacky the Turtle
The Observer
I have grown out of deep depression by learning how to observe my inner world without judging it. This painting reflects the process of learning how to listen: The owl is a silent observer, the awareness, looking at the world and seeing everything happen: the good and the bad. Still, the observer never judges what she sees.

Pegasus
My original vision for this horse was not as blue as it came out to be. I only used blue for shading, and the first color layer of the horse was very blue to start with. However, I often learn the best when I make little “mistakes” like this. They work as steps that are needed on a journey to improvement. I’m happy with the way the final painting turned out and now, I have learned to combine different colors to deepen the shadows of my paintings in a way that brings more balance to the overall color scheme.

Mermaid
I wanted to create a mermaid that was not too much of an “ordinary” one, for example, compared to the ones I often see in cartoons. That’s why the tentacles came into the picture.

Adam & Eve
I’m sure the story of Adam and Eve is familiar to all of us. I wanted to bring some extra contrast to the painting with their outer appearance: Female-male, light-dark.

The Flowers of Blue
Starting on this painting, I had just gotten a new roll of watercolor paper. This paper was behaving very strangely and didn’t blend the colors the way it should’ve. Very soon I found out I had been sent wrong paper and the roll was replaced. Still, I managed to finish this owl pretty much the way I wanted. It was definitely another out-of-my-comfort-zone experience and once I received the correct watercolor paper, painting on it was easier than ever.

The Eyes Are the Mirror of the Soul
The eyes of the girl were my main focus in this painting as I wanted to portray the innocence of a child. The way they look at the world around them when they haven’t yet learned to judge the things they see: the eyes full of wonder.
