Jussi Goman is known for his colorful acrylic paintings that are executed with broad brushstrokes, combining humor, movement, and lightness. The painterly elements of his works and the surprising visual narratives create a rich and multi-layered ensemble. Goman's oeuvre also reveals a profound interest in art history, which is evident in his ability to reinterpret and playfully break the conventions of painting. Recently, Goman has expanded his expression to ceramic sculptures, bringing the world of his paintings into a new dimension.
