Game artist at Fingersoft
Oulu, Finland

Digital artist residing in northern Finland, with a bachelor's in Fine Arts from Lapland UAS.

My art is a blend of inspirations drawn from vibrant and stylized rendering styles, bold shape language, and the works of my favourite artists like Anton Fadeev, Sergey Kolesov, Sin Jong Hun, and Amir Zand. You might also spot influences from my favorite games and media like From Software's souls-style titles, Larian's recent releases, the Dishonored series, Genshin Impact's beautiful environments, and the visually amazing 'Arcane' series by Fortiche.

While I lean heavily into 2D art, I occasionally wander into the 3D world and also enjoy exploring the more technical side of game art. Beyond the art, I enjoy getting lost in games, playing guitar and learning programming.
