Experiencing immersiveness of a landscape
by making art in rough weather conditions

I have a fundamental need to paint landscapes, but I am increasingly finding it naive and paradoxical against the predominant post-human discourse. Though my painting practice has been saturated by paradoxes for years, today I’m radically challenging it.

I am interested in the materiality of a landscape and weather. Landscape is not just something we see in the pictures. I find the observer (kokija) versatilely related and actively open for the unknown. The unknown is something - anything - that can come up when being exposed and sensitive towards everything around us.

In this method, making art is a manner of being and research.
