THE ARTIST

Creativity has been with me throughout my life, serving as a clear guide on my path.
I began my journey as an entrepreneur in 2006, starting as a makeup artist and gradually expanding my work. My interest in tattoo art led me to study tattooing in 2008, and it became my profession for the next 17 years. My work with clients has always been deeply meaningful, as those years have shaped me not only as an artist but also as a person. The shared moments with my clients taught me to see the world in a broader way – through love, we realize that we are all on the same path, but we walk it at our own pace.

Often, my clients tell me that their tattoo sessions are not just about creating art but also a form of therapy. I believe this is true: each encounter is an opportunity to be present and to appreciate one another. Whether it's through a tattoo or a painting session, it's always a shared connection between two people, built on trust and deep understanding.

Over time, it was time for me to evolve. The tattoo studio no longer felt like my place, and so, with a new self, I picked up a brush and turned to canvas. Creating art took on a new dimension. My love for both creativity and movement also led me to become a Pilates instructor, and now I help my clients reconnect with their bodies, hearts, and breath. In my guidance, the goal is for clients to feel and experience something deeper – to rediscover themselves in a new way.

The year 2025 brought a major change in our lives. My husband and I sold our home in Finland and embarked on a new journey, which took us first to Italy and then to Spain. We don't yet know if we will stay here or if life will lead us elsewhere, but we are ready to live freely and with curiosity – open to whatever the world has to offer.
