HI! Welcome to my art portfolio THE NEW NORMAL. My name is Ville-Karel Viirelaid. I am an artist. I was born in Soviet Estonia in 1981 and I live in Finland. I have graduated Estonian Academy of Arts and studied interdisciplinary arts. I have taken part in artist groups Non Grata (2002-2012), F.L.Y. (2002-2006) and CnOPT (2006-2014). I have curated various alternative art events, established artist run spaces and worked as a curator. Currently I belong to Tampere artists association. My main creative outlets have been painting, mixed media prints, video- and performance art. I have many sources of inspiration, some of them are outsider art, underground art, Dada, post pop, avant-garde art, occult, philosophy, religions, rituals, alternative history etc.

You can find my bio, cv, and portfolio by checking out the menu above. All the images, videos & texts on this website belong to me unless stated otherwise. Any use, copying, or distribution of these materials is strictly prohibited.

The site is under construction and mostly in English.

Keep a clear head – ars longa, vita brevis est!
