J. Koskimies
A creative storyteller whose fairytale is constantly shaping
My journey as an artist began at the tender age of three when I first started drawing simple balloons. Those balloons gradually transformed into various shapes and enchanting fairytale creatures, each more vivid than the last. Day by day, I practiced with unwavering dedication, driven by a dream to one day become an artist who could weave beautiful fairytales wherever I went—stories that would delve into the depths of imagination and bring people together.
As I grew, my creativity was enriched by the influences of classical music, ballet, history, and a multitude of other inspirations. I found myself captivated by the Kalevala, the flowing lines of Art Nouveau and Jugend, and the allure of mystic and unexplainable things. These passions added depth and color to my artistic expression, fueling my desire to create works that resonate with both the known and the unknown.
I am a career coach, youth worker, and artist with a strong interest in history, cultures, community, and emerging trends. I am an innovative multi-professional who doesn't fit neatly into just one or a few categories, even in my hobbies.
I draw, paint, dance, sing, make music, write, research, photograph, model, create jewelry, and explore creativity. I am a member of the Kollektiivi Hiekkalaatikko osk., Birckalaiset Ry, and the Tampere Kahvilakauppa community. I have a deep passion for making an impact and being part of something that feels like family.
