Beginning of everything 2017

Who i am?

I am Anssi Matias Miettinen.

I was passionate about drawing and painting with watercolors as a child, and I did it during elementary school lessons and a few other times in my childhood and adolescence. The year of the last drawing I found is 2006.

2014 marked the beginning of an intense era of change and introspection. During this time, I broke into myself and went through my very hectic life with different methods of self-development as well as intensive self-examination. In the early summer of 2017, I grabbed the brush again, started painting.

My works emerge from the imagination, from a deep thought. There is a strong presence in my works of living life, striving to understand life, and the depth of reality and the unpredictable wave of being and living. I have gone deep and let it show.

My analytical mind is constantly debating in the multidimensional reality created by perspective, dimensions, and experience that I seek to embody through the brush on canvas.

I don’t want to explain too much what I see or experience, I bring it all out in my paintings and writings. I want everyone to interpret what they see in their own way, as I would like everyone to do in their personal lives.

I am and I paint. That’s enough.
