Jonishiva / Joni Niva
I’m a visual artist from Finnish Lapland, focusing primarily on large-scale oil paintings. My works usually explore the themes of symbolic rebirth, vulnerability and the dialogue between human beings and nature. Besides that my art is also a form of therapy for me, a way to reach and process my own emotions. This process of self-discovery often resonates with the audience, creating a dialogue where my inner world and their experiences meet.
“I lost myself in all of my artworks, if you see one of these I hope you get lost for a while too”
