about.

“I don’t believe in biographies as they don’t tell the whole story. My story is not ready yet.” Jarkko Sjöman is a seaman by name, a curious, restless soul by nature. Born and raised in Finland by the Baltic Sea, he speaks through his art to express his passion and fear for this natural element.

​

“I disapprove of labels on people. I disapprove of labels on art. Freedom only happens when we break these fucking chains on our ways of thinking.” Jarkko has a history that is nobody’s business but his own. It has been his business to use his talents in as many ways as he has felt right.

​

Whether in his role as a banker, a social media influencer, an artist. He is all these and none of these. It is his business to remain an enigma - a sailor, an explorer. “I speak through my art - loud and fiercely. I keep on telling what I see in the open sea that dwells inside me."

Whether you want to listen or not, it is up to you.

​

”My expressions are expressions of love and hunger for life, freedom.”
