Paavo Stenius was born in 1969 in Oulu, Northern Finland. Stenius has lived in various parts of Finland throughout his life but settled in Jyväskylä in central Finland twenty years ago because of its beautiful nature surrounded by lakes and forest. Stenius has had a love of the forest since he was a boy, spending hours exploring and playing amongst the spruce and pine trees. His work predominantly depicts the Finnish forest and lakes.
