My professional path eventually led me into the leadership of large companies, where I discovered a different kind of geometry - the invisible structures of human roles, hierarchies, and dynamics.

Observing how people positioned themselves in these frameworks became just as intriguing to me as the mathematical elegance of shapes.

I have been obsessed with geometry for as long as I can remember. As a student, I was captivated by the balance of shapes, the rhythm of patterns, and the way forms could create a sense of order and mystery at the same time.

This fascination deepened during my university years, when I studied engineering and learned to see the world through the lens of structure and precision.

Each shape, when viewed from a different angle, seems to reveal something entirely new - an endless play of perspectives hidden within the same form.

My Story

For more than a decade, I have been quietly mastering my craft in my home studio.

Working primarily with oil paints, I have explored how geometry can be transformed into portraits and stories.

Alongside, I studied at the Open Academy of the Estonian Academy of Arts, which gave me new tools to refine my vision and technique.

Mastering the Craft

What began as a private passion gradually stepped into the public eye, with my first exhibitions marking the beginning of a dialogue between my inner world and a wider audience.

Each show has become not just a presentation of paintings, but also a continuation of my lifelong exploration of shapes, people, and meaning.
