Sampo Kaikkonen is a Finnish figurative painter from Oulu. His main media is oil painting respecting the technique and style of the old masters.

The athmosphere in Kaikkonen's works is timeless, people are without any symbols of specific era and the lanscape is universal. Beside the dominant human figures another strong factor in his works is emotion which mediates through his themes, expression and colours.

With his painting Kaikkonen satisfies his endless desire to explore the world and to wonder its miracles. "To paint is an expedition to hidden layers of reality."

The web gallery presents Sampo Kaikkonen's selected paintings from 2001 to 2007. Latest exhibitions and other events can also be found from these web pages.
