Art Studio: Artstudio in Vallila
I’m Jyry and I’ve been drawing since I was a 3-year-old little boy. I started studying in 2016 at Kaarisilla, where I graduated in the summer of 2020 as a visual artist. I started working in the Vallila art studio of the Autism Foundation in October 2022. I paint landscapes and cityscapes with acrylics and sometimes with watercolors. Definitely portraits too. The subjects of my paintings are mostly the landscapes of Helsinki. Helsinki is very important to me and I want to constantly make paintings of the buildings and regions of Helsinki. In addition to painting, I like to draw people’s portraits either with a pencil or a marker. The inspiration for the marker drawing is the illustration of old adventure novels, that is, I imagine as if I were illustrating adventure novels. Art means a lot to me.
