Not from complete knowledge.

Only from fragments of ideas.

What if we had to recreate the world?

We begin with geometry.

My paintings imagine a world where familiar things no longer exist - or perhaps have not yet come into being.

Through geometry, people, flowers and objects begin to take shape, whether for the first time or all over again.

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.

Geometry, geomeetria
Geometry, geomeetria

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.

Obsessed by Geometry

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.
