Eesu

Helsinki, Uusimaa

I am a multi-talented creative professional and artist who works across various media and forms of expression. In my art, I often explore phenomena or themes that fall outside the mainstream or remain hidden from it. In my commercial work, I seamlessly combine different media and techniques.

Bright White Light, an experimental short documentary film I co-directed with Henna Välky, explored near-death experiences. The film premiered at the Tribeca Film Festival in 2024, after which it was selected for over 40 film festivals around the world and received almost as many nominations.

My exhibition *Linjat*, on display at the Kymenlaakso Museum in 2026, used paintings, a video installation and a projection to highlight how seemingly one-dimensional public spaces can, in reality, be multifaceted and sometimes deeply meaningful places for marginalised cultures.

My artworks are part of the collections at the Malva Museum of Visual Arts in Lahti and the Kymenlaakso Museum. My commercial work has been recognised with awards such as the ‘Vuoden Huipuissa’ prize.

I run the Visual Kult design agency and the Fire1984 skate and streetwear brand, and I am a partner in the production company Silent Paprika Films.

I sit on the board of Grafia ry and am a member of the Kotka Artists’ Association.

The ‘Linjat’ exhibition at the Kymenlaakso Museum, Merikeskus Vellamo, 17 April–6 September 2026.

The short film *Bright White Light* was part of the official programme at the 2024 Tribeca Film Festival, where it was nominated for Best Short Documentary.

In the New Music Competition in 2025 and 2026, I served as VFX and Post-Production Supervisor as well as Lead Designer.

I have lectured at Aalto University, the Lahti Academy of Design and Fotografiska in Tallinn.

Towards the end of the year, my works will be on display at the Aaltoja! light and sound art festivals, at the Mikkeli Night of Museums – where I will also be giving a lecture – and at the Galleriaia art gallery.

In 2027, my first major solo art exhibition will open at Galleriaia in Helsinki, and later that year I will have an exhibition at the Uusikuva Gallery in Kotka.

I have worked in the creative sector and in the arts for over 20 years.
