Sami admires the work of many different artists yet has managed to create a style all his own, which is flexible yet confident enough to capture a concept he is currently exploring. This is the advice he gives to aspiring artists: "Be true to yourself, and believe in yourself. Don't try to imitate others, use your own personal creativity."

Sami's unique expressive style is impressionistic while several mediums are employed ranging from pen and ink, to oils, watercolours and acrylics. Sami's paintings are in numerous important collections in North America, Europe, and Scandinavia, including the Canadian Art Archives.

The samples shown at the left represent a very tiny cross-section of Sami's vast work.
