Sami looks to his imagination for inspiration and often draws on experiences from his travels and his work with paint on paper certainly is an excellent example of that. Bright, vivid colours with images that virtually leap out of the medium are his trade mark. These highly contemporary pieces retain the fresh childlike expression of life that perhaps we have lost in our seemingly complex adult years. Sami brings it back for us to enjoy again!

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