In 2018 I was a business student just about to graduate as Master's in Supply Chain Management. I wasn't as happy as I would have liked to be so I turned my life around and moved back to my hometown Espoo (Finland), bought my first own apartment and decided to try abstract painting as a hobby.
It all started with countless hours of watching videos on acrylic pouring and alcohol inks. I was so addicted right away, and when I started painting, it felt like the best therapy I could imagine. I had an incredible urge to paint everyday and I was often loosing sleep when getting an inspiration flow just after going to bed at night.
I sold over 50 paintings, I got over 1000 new followers and more than 5000 likes on one of my photos during the first three months. In the beginning of 2018 I would have never guessed any of it!
In the beginning of 2019 I quit my job as an IT consultant and focused in art full time. Even after studying business for five years, this still felt like the best decision I had ever made. I’m so happy and fortunate to have found my passion and a form of expression, which I can make a living with. Nowadays I only feel myself when I can create something new.
