Anssi graduated as a visual artist from Kankaanpää Art School in 1986. He
has since furthered his studies in Kemi-Tornio University of Applied
Sciences, Faculty of Art and Design in University of Lapland, and the
University of Umeå in Sweden. Anssi 's main techniques include painting,
drawing, serigraphy and videos. He is a member of Finnish Painters’ Union
as well as Artist Associations of Lapland and Oulu.
The next quote is from the artist statement included in the Artist Register by
Finnish Painters’ Union. “Hanhela’s career as an artist began in the 1980’s
as an expressive landscape painter. He came full circle at the turn of the
millennium when he returned to paint colorful paintings of a man's life
alongside a woman, of a man as part of a rural idyllic soul landscape, after
painting constructive images of God and minimalistic hidden pictures about
sexuality. Hanhela's humor is black and sarcastic, but this mischief is not
meant to be taken too seriously merely as an access to something new.
Painting is a tool for him to analyse feelings and thoughts, put them in
order, and then laugh over loudly.”


Over the years, Anssi has had numerous private group exhibitions in Finland
and abroad. In addition to Finland, his works have been exhibited in
Sweden, Norway, Germany, Estonia, Russia, Latvia, Poland and
Switzerland. In addition to painting and exhibitions, Anssi has worked as a
teacher for various lengths among others at Liminka Art school, Piippola
School of Arts and Crafts, Vocational College of Western Lapland, Central
School of Yli-Ii as well as at various weekend courses organised by different
communties, and other fine art events.


Anssi had a tragic accident in October 2012, when he lived in his father's
house in Jokikylä. He had carbon monoxide poisoning, which put him into a
coma for nearly three months. Miraceliously Anssi recovered from it, and
even though the accident left its marks, he has been working very hard since
and has held several exhibitions of his new paintings.
