Syystuuli means "autumn wind" in finnish.

It is a soft breeze on late summer nights. It whispers with leaves rustling at the top of trees and waves crashing ashore at the beach.
It's what makes forests and lakes feel alive before everything calms down and freezes still for the winter.

Not only do I like syystuuli as a word and a literal phenomenon I get to witness every year, Syystuuli was also my middle name for the first 19 years of my life. Even though I don't legally carry that name with me anymore, it continues being a part of my identity and source of inspiration.

I hope that comes through in my work.




That's me. I'm just a finnish art student creating my own world. Thank you for being a part of it.
