I'm Taika, a Helsinki-based creative entrepreneur and Master of Arts in fashion design.

My current work focuses on paintings where cats, frogs, and rubber ducks appear in strange yet carefully constructed portraits. I work across visual art by combining traditional painting, digital techniques, and AI-assisted processes.

My work exists at the intersection of portraiture, animal art, and surrealism.

On this website, you'll find:

  • An online shop where you can order my paintings and illustrations as Finland-made posters and canvas prints

  • A blog where I share thoughts on artistic practice, creativity, and the process of making art

Commissions are also available.
