In 1963, I graduated from the Tuomarniemi Forest School as a forest technician. I practiced the profession corresponding to my education until 1969.Since then, I have earned my living by shooting and directing films. For me, sculpting has been a therapeutic activity to release the pressures of the stressful film work. Welcome the exhibition opening on Tuesday November 14h, from 5 to 7 pm.
