BOOMBASTIC This colourful acrylic series explores the many ways people show up in the world. Each painting represents a distinct mode of self-expression, from the energy brought to new encounters, to the focus and creativity of work, to the intimacy and vulnerability shared in safe spaces. The series celebrates confidence, presence, and authenticity. It highlights the balance between boldness and restraint, structure and chaos, radiance and vulnerability, and invites viewers to embrace their own unique light. 1. MANGO MANIFESTO (2026, acrylic on canvas, 100cm in diameter) represents radiant self-confidence and charm. It embodies a presence that shines brightly in its own light, fully contained and grounded. Bold and unapologetic, it radiates joy and magnetism while remaining self-assured and undisturbed by the smallness or judgments of others. It captures confidence that is playful, controlled, and proudly whole. 2. MIDNIGHT MAGNETISM (2026, acrylic on canvas, 50x60cm) captures a reflective and enigmatic energy. It conveys vibrancy that draws others in while remaining controlled and balanced. The work expresses subtle power, magnetic presence, and the quiet allure of a self that moves through complexity with poise and grace. 3. GREEN GRAVITY (2026, acrylic on canvas, 50x70cm) reflects grounded focus and creative flow. Its energy is deliberate and steady, allowing ideas to move freely while maintaining cohesion and clarity. The painting embodies influence that arises from presence, discipline, and quiet confidence. 4. YELLOW YELL (2026, acrylic on canvas, 50x60cm) embodies vulnerability and intimacy. Raw, dynamic, and unapologetically alive, it celebrates the self as it unfolds in safe spaces. It conveys brightness, energy, and emotional honesty, capturing the chaotic, living, and fully present aspects of personal expression. Boombastic invites all viewers to embrace their own ways of shining confidently, creatively, and authentically. The series is now decorating the walls of the beautiful @kahiwa.cafe.bakery in Lahti until 28.2.2026.

I and my 8 y.o. spontaneously co-created this little paper cut collage today while eating pizza. 😊 ✂️🍕 Every Tuesday an arts teacher from our old neighbourhood in Kallio hosts a little afterwork arts session at @lyyrankellari with a minimal fee covering only the materials. 🫶
