Exhibitions
Here you can find information about my upcoming and previous exhibitions.
My next exhibition will be held at Itäisenpitkän kadun kehystämö in May 2024.
1.6.-26.6.2023 Fabbes Café
Finally my drawings are on display at Fabbes Café, this is the second exhibition I have held at any café. This time the theme is heavy on famous actors and singers as you can probably guess from my Wednesday-ish outfit.
1.6.-31.7.2022 Turku Main Library
This is the second time my drawings are on display at Turku Main Library and they warmly welcomed me back - to imagine that this time I have two long months! I didn't get to finish an artwork in time so I decided to add it later to the showcase. You might spot some famous film stars, singers and game characters there. Also, a journalist contacted me and wanted a short interview. It was so strange to see myself printed on a newspaper!

17.11.-11.12.2020 Vimma
Vimma is a community center in Turku where many young and less known artists often have their works on display. My works got a good reception in spite of these tough times that are upon us. It was nice to see there were some notes in the visitors' book!
6.9.-3.10.2020 Café Art
My portrait-related exhibition was held in Turku Café Art which is a very known place here. Changing exhibitions attract many artists and you can just sit back with a cup of coffee and enjoy the display.
1.2.-28.2.2020 Itäisen kadun kehystämö
This place is a popular shop in my hometown among artists. After buying most of my pencils and papers from here for years, it was really important to me to have my works displayed there in the showcase. There were artworks of Dimash Kudaibergen, k-pop stars as well as some random stuff.
1.11.-30.11.2019 Kaarina library
This exhibition mostly consisted of artworks of Dimash Kudaibergen and also some older drawings of k-pop idols. There was a huge screen with a video of Dimash's music playing on loop. I must say that I met a famous Finnish artist who was there himself and complimented me on my works.
27.6.2019 Kazakhstan, Nur-Sultan
It was an honor to be able to put my works on display in Arch de Triumphe, a museum in the capital of Kazakhstan along with other talented artists from all over the world. In order to participate the competition, I had to send pictures of my works to the organizers and only the best ones were chosen. This exhibition was solely dedicated to the Kazakh singer Dimash Kudaibergen and it was recorded by journalists. Some people wanted to buy my works but they were not on sale! I cannot express my gratitude to the Kazakh folk for their hospitality, gifts, and efforts. Thank you for the lovely dinner and thank you for taking me to a museum for free!
1.8.-31.8.2018 Turku main library
My first exhibition related to k-pop idols was held here in 2018.
