“I am a Finnish comic artist and have lived in Kreuzberg, Berlin, for 16 years. I have two children and also work as an illustrator. In my comics, I’m interested in personal themes such as emotions, feminism, relationships, encounters, sexuality, as well as the boundaries and freedoms imposed by society. I usually approach these topics in a raw but gently humorous way.”
“My first graphic novel has just been published in Finland (Zum Teufel-Kustannus)—a 152-page book that chronicles the experiences of an immigrant woman in Berlin’s Kreuzberg district over a 13-year period.Its called ”Rusinat Berliinin munkista”.
“It is an underground-style comic based on my own experiences, to which I have added surreal and imaginative layers using. It is drawn with ink and a nib. I almost always draw exclusively on paper. My comics are usually humorous, about women’s lives, or stories where everyone gets a voice—even the kitchen storage containers.”
