L.Jakobsson
I was born 16.2 1983 in Vaasa, Finland. I grew up in an artistic surrounding my father being a portrait painter.
I started painting seriously at 18 years old, and I´ve had 16 exhibitions of my own since that. Closest to my heart is portrait painting but I´m constantly working on new ways to express myself visually.
In te last 6 years I have also developed myself in other areas. I am working as a tattoo artist at Beauty Bay, Vaasa, Finland.
The step to start tattooing my art wasn´t far.....and I´m loving it. My goal is to become a really good portrait tattoo artist and pursue my journey as a fine artist same time.
I am a mother of two girls and my husband is a very skillful sculptor. Our children grow up like I did, surrounded by artistic talking and creativity. I´m happy to watch their interest in it, but I don+ t want to impact them too much. I want them to feel free to choose what they want in life.
I could be called a workaholic. Most days I work 10-12 hours and enjoy every moment of it, constantly getting new ideas and ways of pursuing them. I love my work !!!
And instead of being ashamed of being away from home a lot I keep a constant conversation with my children, and I hope I´m being a good example for them in having big drams, ambition and never, ever giving up.
I have thrown away at least 90% of my works, I´m learning through trial and error....and what I´ve learned is that the most important thing you need when you create is to have a vision. To dare having a vision and believe in it. That´s often when people give up, because they lost their vision half way. Close your eyes - see it - do it - if you forget it, close your eyes again. Only your own truth will come out in its purest form. And that´s what you want to do. Nothing else. When you choose to work like this, things will fall into place.

Press release
2009: Opening of art exhibition "Finka" in Kouvola, Finland.
March 2009: I´m in Petersburg, Russia! I will study here for 6 months, in the State Academy of art and design. I´m on Monumental painting and it is really great. I feel I ve finally found the right place for me. Long days and really stressy but it´ s paying off, for sure.Model every day, drawing, painting, drawing, painting.....and great people too. We just got internet so I haven´t been able to update ANYTHING, not even check my mails :p Will put out some stuff created in school as soon as possible. 20.9 Today we open our first exhibition together, me and my husband. We call it LOVE&FLY and it is being held in Umeå, Sweden. Gallery Paletten(Östra Kyrkogatan 34) WELCOME!
27.2.2008
On this memorable day our wonderful daughter Lucia Aurora Alexeyevna was born. May she have a long joyful life! I´m so happy.
4.12 2007
The next exhibition is getting closer every day - it will take place in Helsinki, () the 8th of January til the 2d of February. I have been sick, and I ´ve been stressed about it, but now I feel fine and I still have some time to finish everything and make it as good as possible. Also, I will be 8 months pregnant at the time of the opening! Let´s just hope that the little one will stay inside til after the exhibition :)
June 2007
I can hardly believe it - the amount of visitors on my page is now over 100.000. And this is in one year. Thank you so much.Note: on l.jakobsson you can purchase high-quality prints of several of my artworks.
The opening of the exhibition was last tuesday, and I have to say that I can´t think of anything that could have went better this time. I ´m really satisfied with newspaper articles, and the feedback from the people who have been visiting the show. Thanks to everyone involved. Please see the newspaper articles and photos from the show by clicking on "Info Artist."
Next is a long sculpture course at school and brainstorming for the show in Brussels(at Classic Art House) next September.
Every time after the opening of an exhibition I get this empty feeling, somebody compared it to giving birth.....well I guess there is some likeness there !
But already, I start thinking of new ideas and I have some ideas that feel really brand new to me. So, depression doesn´ t last longer than 2 days :D
We have now exceeded the amount of 50.000 (!!) visitors since last May. That feels really wonderful. Thanks to all you visitors for making this (sometimes ) crazy thing pay off!!!!!!!

Performance Yaron David
Yaron David (Tel Aviv, Israel) - "The Phallic Series" (Performance)
The Phallic Series – Differing in their visual style and context, these three short parts of an ongoing series are united by a phallic theme.
Reproduction, a video documenting a performance, is a fantastical kitschy hybrid of peep show and chemical lab; Mother's Hands contradicts a series of manual exertions with the projected hands of the Mother. The images are reminiscent of figurine theatricals as well as Expressionism and slapstick comedy. The last part, Epilogue, based on collaboration with different artists – powerful women interact with me in a sexy-macabre way (until now I invited Israeli, Irish and Polish artists in few Festivals around Europe and Israel). The meeting with Linda Jakobsson in Pair01 Festival in Lahti was a real surprising and powerful – when I met her, just half an hour before the performance, I knew we can trust our instincts. We could feel the electricity in the air. It was a real gift to trust a great performer, with a magical presence.
