I prefer to observe and study nature quite closely and, if possible, from the inside. My goal is not to copy nature, but to let my subconscious synthesize and mix these impressions and only then do I start creating my own organic forms. You could say that my artistic style balances between the abstract and the figurative, the functional and the decorative.
I was born in Tartu in 1976 and studied at the Estonian Academy of Arts (1998-2002). After graduating from school, I have worked as a freelancer in my own ceramics studio, Saviklubi, where, in addition to my creative work, I have organized and supervised ceramic courses and workshops.
Since 2002, I have had several solo exhibitions and have participated in many group exhibitions in Estonia, Europe and Asia. Since 2009, my works have been selected by curators for major international exhibitions and I have received several grants for my creative work. In 2010, I was nominated as the Ceramist of the Year by the Estonian Ceramists' Association. My works can be found in public and private collections.
