The primary influence of my paintings comes from ancient history and mythology. I've always been facinated of worn, patinated surfaces, walls, murals, frescos. I start my painting process by creating a multi...

She has had several private and group exhibitions in Finland and abroad since graduating from the School of Free Arts in 2010.

She says:

"Painting is an adventure where I am an anxious explorer.

The physicality of the exercise inspires me a lot. I want to convey and arouse emotions.

A. K. Autio

Tamperelainen kuvataiteilija (Tamk 2010-2014), jota kiinnostaa abtrakti maalaustaide sekä kierrätys- ja sekamateriaaleista valmistetut veistokset.
